Influence of substrate potential shape on the dynamics of a sliding lubricant chain
Rosalie Laure Woulaché, Andrea Vanossi, Nicola Manini
We investigate the frictional sliding of an incommensurate chain of interacting particles confined in between two nonlinear on-site substrate potential profiles in relative motion.…
Hydrostatic strain enhancement in laterally confined SiGe nanostripes
G. M. Vanacore, M. Chaigneau, N. Barrett +16
Strain-engineering in SiGe nanostructures is fundamental for the design of optoelectronic devices at the nanoscale. Here we explore a new strategy, where SiGe structures are latera…
Size scaling of static friction
O. M. Braun, Nicola Manini, Erio Tosatti
Sliding friction across a thin soft lubricant film typically occurs by stick-slip, the lubricant fully solidifying at stick, yielding and flowing at slip. The static friction force…
