Soliton dynamics in a solid lubricant during sliding friction
Soliton dynamics in a solid lubricant during sliding friction
Recent highly idealized model studies of lubricated nanofriction for two crystalline sliding surfaces with an interposed thin solid crystalline lubricant layer showed that the overall relative velocity of the lubricant ${v}_{\mathrm{lub}}/{v}_{\mathrm{slider}}$ depends only on the ratio of the lattice spacings, and retains a strictly constant value even when system parameters …
