Single asperity tribochemical wear of silicon nitride studied by atomic force microscopy
Nanometer scale single asperity tribochemical wear of silicon nitride was examined by measuring the wear of atomic force microscope tips translated against a variety of substrates in aqueous solutions. We show that the chemical nature of the substrate plays an important role: significant wear was observed only when the substrate surface is populated with appropriate metal-hydroxide bonds. Mica ...
متن کاملAdhesion, Lubrication, and Wear on the Atomic Scale
This paper reviews three important aspects of tribology (adhesion, lubrication and wear) on the atomic scale with a focus on our work on aluminum surfaces. Adhesion is critical to the success of many applications but there is no simple analytical model available to predict adhesion between different materials, so we discuss the use of electronic structure methods to investigate adhesion between...
متن کاملFULL CRITICAL REVIEW In situ single asperity wear at the nanometre scale
The interface of two contacting materials experiences complex physical and possibly chemical reactions when one slides with respect to another. While tribology, a subject studying sliding contact, has been comprehensively elucidated for a variety of materials ranging from metals, carbides, inorganic materials and polymers, direct imaging data of the processes taken place at the nanometre or ato...
متن کاملRecent advances in single-asperity nanotribology
As the size of electronic and mechanical devices shrinks to the nanometre regime, performance begins to be dominated by surface forces. For example, friction, wear and adhesion are known to be central challenges in the design of reliable microand nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Because of the complexity of the physical and chemical mechanisms underlying atomic-level tribology, it is...
متن کاملTribo-induced melting transition at a sliding asperity contact.
Observation of a tribo-induced transition from solid to liquidlike behavior is reported for a scanning tunneling microscope tip in sliding contact with an indium electrode of a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). In particular, at a sufficiently high asperity sliding speed (about 1 m/s) and/or sample temperature, a change in the contact mechanics is observed that is consistent with melting in te...
