Is the surface fluid during surface melting, a study of the surface shear modulus of solid Gallium
Almog Danzig, Ori Scaly, Emil Polturak
Melting of 3D solids is often preceded by a melting of their surface, a distinct process which begins at a temperature lower than the melting temperature. Until now, surface meltin…

Observation of quantum friction in solid 4He
Almog Danzig, Ori Scaly, Emil Polturak
Classical sliding friction is dominated by the slip-stick mechanism, where contacts between two bodies are alternately formed and sheared as the bodies move past each other. When t…
