The Effect of Atomic-Scale Roughness on the Adhesion of Nanoscale Asperities: A Combined Simulation and Experimental Investigation
Tevis D. B. Jacobs,Kathleen E. Ryan,Pamela L. Keating,David S. Grierson,Joel A. Lefever,Kevin T. Turner,Judith A. Harrison,Robert W. Carpick +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of atomic-scale roughness on adhesion between carbon-based materials is examined by both simulations and experimental techniques, and the dependence of adhesion upon roughness is accurately described using a simple analytical model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Film Structure and Surface Hydrogen on the Properties of Amorphous Carbon Films
TL;DR: In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations were used to examine the mechanical and tribological properties of amorphous-carbon thin films with and without surface hydrogen and showed that the three-dimensional structure, not just the sp3-to-sp2 carbon ratio, is paramount in determining the mechanical properties of the films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the atomic-scale friction and energy dissipation in diamond using molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to examine friction when two diamond surfaces are placed in sliding contact, and the essence of atomic-scale friction was shown to be the mechanical excitation (in the form of vibrational and rotational energy) of the interface lattice layers upon sliding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of force fields and intermolecular potentials used in atomistic computational materials research
Judith A. Harrison,J. David Schall,Sabina Maskey,Paul T. Mikulski,M. Todd Knippenberg,Brian H. Morrow +5 more
TL;DR: In this focused review, some of the more commonly used potential energy functions for molecular simulations are reviewed with an eye toward presenting their general forms, strengths, and weaknesses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Defects in Compression and Friction of Anchored Hydrocarbon Chains on Diamond
TL;DR: In this paper, structural defects and their formation play a role in compression, friction, and energy dissipation processes in monolayers composed of linear hydrocarbon chains with 8, 13, or 22 carbon atoms that are chemically bound to a diamond (111) substrate.
