A large measured 2D diffusion coefficient of gold nanoclusters on graphite has been known experimentally and theoretically for about a decade. When subjected to a lateral force, these clusters should slide with an amount of friction that…
We demonstrate cooling of the center of mass motion of charged graphene nanoplatelets levitated in a quadrupole ion trap in high vacuum down to temperatures of 20 K. Parametric feedback based on optical measurements of particle motion was…
We systematically investigate the chemical vapor deposition growth of graphene on Ge(110) as a function of the deposition temperature close to the Ge melting point. By merging spectroscopic and morphological information, we find that the…
Recent nanofriction experiments of xenon on graphene revealed that the slip onset can be induced by increasing the adsorbate coverage above a critical value, which depends on temperature. Moreover, the xenon slippage on gold is much higher…
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements of iron nano-islands grown on graphene and covered with a Au film for passivation reveal that the oxidation through defects in the Au film spontaneously leads to the formation of…
With use of simulated friction force microscopy, we study the effect of varying temperature on the frictional properties of suspended graphene. In contrast with the theory of thermally activated friction on the surfaces of three-dimensional…
By combining scanning probe microscopy with Raman and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, we investigate the evolution of CVD-grown graphene/Ge(001) as a function of the deposition temperature in close proximity to the Ge melting point,…
Using Monte Carlo simulation methods in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles, we discuss the melting and the formation of ordered structures of mixed Ar-Xe submonolayer films on graphite. The calculations have been performed using…
Graphene has attracted a lot of research interests due to its exotic properties and a wide spectrum of potential applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from gaseous hydrocarbon sources has shown great promises for large-scale…
Nanopapers based on graphene and related materials were recently proposed for application in heat spreader applications. To overcome typical limitations in brittleness of such materials, this work addressed the combination of graphite…
This article is a continuation of our previous studies of the frictional anisotropy of metal nanoparticles on the surface of a graphene substrate for other temperature conditions. The friction force acting on palladium nanoparticles on a…
This paper studies the lubricating properties of graphene on randomly rough Au surfaces in sliding nanofriction using molecular dynamics. It is shown that the friction and the consequent heat dissipation decrease more than an order of…
Graphene is one of the stiffest known materials, with a Young's modulus of 1 TPa, making it an ideal candidate for use as a reinforcement in high-performance composites. However, being a one-atom thick crystalline material, graphene poses…
The inertial sliding of physisorbed submonolayer islands on crystal surfaces contains unexpected information on the exceptionally incommensurate smooth sliding state associated with superlubricity and on the mechanisms of its disappearance.…
Mechanical exfoliation of a graphite surface with an adhesive nanoasperity is studied under different temperatures ranging from 298 K to 2 K using classical molecular dynamics. Two types of the interlayer interaction are investigated. For a…
The origin of ice slipperiness has been a matter of great controversy for more than a century, but an atomistic understanding of ice friction is still lacking. Here, we perform computer simulations of an atomically smooth substrate sliding…
Nickel-adsorbed graphene was prepared by first synthesizing graphite oxide (GO) by modified Hummers' method and then reducing a solution containing both GO and $Ni^{2+}$. EDX analysis showed 31 atomic percent nickel was present.…
Two-dimensional square ice in graphene nanocapillaries at room temperature is a fascinating phenomenon and has been confirmed experimentally. Instead of temperature for bulk ice, the high van der Waals pressure becomes an all-important…
The temperature dependence of electric transport properties of single-layer and few-layer graphene at large charge doping is of great interest both for the study of the scattering processes dominating the conductivity at different…
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we probe a suspended graphene layer by a diamond-like-carbon tip at various temperatures. The force acting on the tip in the sliding direction is measured to be negative at liquid-helium temperature.…
