Power law load dependence of atomic friction
C. Fusco, A. Fasolino
We present a theoretical study of the dynamics of a tip scanning a graphite surface as a function of the applied load. From the analysis of the lateral forces, we extract the frict…

Nonlinear dynamics and surface diffusion of diatomic molecules
C. Fusco, A. Fasolino
The motion of molecules on solid surfaces is of interest for technological applications, but it is also a theoretical challenge. We study the deterministic and thermal diffusive dy…
