Structural superlubricity is a fascinating tribological phenomenon, in which the lateral
interactions between two incommensurate contacting surfaces are effectively cancelled …

Structural superlubricity (SSL), a state of ultralow friction and no wear between two solid
surfaces in contact, offers a fundamental solution for reducing friction and wear. Recent …

A plethora of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been introduced in physics and
engineering in the past two decades. Their robust, membranelike sheets permit (mostly …

Abstracts Ionic liquids (ILs)-solid interfacial phenomenon is undoubtedly one of the topic

The theory of phononic friction attributes that the multiphonon processes are the main cause
of the mechanical energy dissipation in a wear-free friction process. Unfortunately, it is still …

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that thermal-induced edge barriers and forces can
govern the<? format?> interlayer interaction of double walled carbon nanotubes. As a result …

The ultra-low kinetic friction F k of 2D structurally superlubric interfaces, connected with the
fast motion of the incommensurate moiré pattern, is often invoked for its linear increase with …

The generalized Langevin equation (GLE) has been recently suggested to simulate the time
evolution of classical solid and molecular systems when considering general nonequilibrium …
