Superlubricity of MoS<sub>2</sub> at Submicron Scale

Abstract: When the mean free paths of acoustic phonons are larger than half the MoS2 island size, the generated acoustic phonons remain at nonequilibrium and are confined within the island or form standing waves. In contrast, when the island size decreases to less than 1 μm, surface softening increases, reducing the barrier of the tip−surface interaction potential. Unexpectedly, the friction force from an island with a size of 0.2 μm abruptly decreases to below 10 pN. The superlubricity described here is a novel type in… Show more

“…The chemical potential (μ) can be defined as the ability of an electron to leave the HOMO from the compound in the state of equilibrium. [41][42] The order of chemical potential for top four compounds is 205 > 209 > 190 > 159. The Absolute hardness and softness have defined as the potential of the compound to show their reactivity and stability respectively in the environment of the surrounding compound.…”

“…10 Its two-dimensional analogue, graphene, 11 have shown significant promise in ultralow friction in both nanoscale and microscale lubrication, [12][13][14][15] supported by in silico measurements. [16][17][18] The materials' extremely high strength, low shear resistance, relatively low cost and comparably high thermal conduction and dissipation performances are attributed to the materials' 2D-lamellar structures. [19][20][21] More recently a fluorine-functionalised derivative, fluorographene, has been explored as a potential candidate for macroscale low-friction lubrication.…”
