主 题:Nanotribology nanoparticle manipulation friction force microscopy structural lubricity superlubricity HOPG
摘 要:The term“structural lubricitydenotes a fundamental concept where the friction between two atomically flat surfaces is reduced due to lattice mismatch at the *** favorable circumstances,its effect may cause a contact to experience ultra-low friction,which is why it is also referred to as“superlubricity.While the basic principle is intriguingly simple,the experimental analysis of structural lubricity has been *** of the main reasons for this predicament is that the tool most frequently used in nanotribology,the friction force microscope,is not well suited to analyse the friction of extended *** overcome this deficiency,substantial efforts have been directed in recent years towards establishing nanoparticle manipulation techniques,where the friction of nanoparticles sliding on a substrate is measured,as an alternative approach to nanotribological *** choosing appropriate nanoparticles and substrates,interfaces exhibiting the characteristics needed for the occurrence of structural lubricity can be *** a consequence,nanoparticle manipulation experiments such as in this review represent a unique opportunity to study the physical conditions and processes necessary to establish structural lubricity,thereby opening a path to exploit this effect in technological applications.
