Effects of Boundary Conditions on Magnetic Friction

Statistical Mechanics 2019-05-15 v1

Abstract

We consider magnetic friction between two square lattices of the ferromagnetic Ising model of finite thickness. We analyze the dependence on the boundary conditions and the sample thickness. Monte Carlo results indicate that the setup enables us to control the frictional force by magnetic fields on the boundaries. In addition, we confirm that the temperature derivative of the frictional force as well as that of the boundary energy has singularity at a velocity-dependent critical temperature.
