Frictional behavior of atomically thin sheets: hexagonal-shaped graphene islands grown on copper by chemical vapor deposition.

TL;DR: Graphene substantially lowers the friction force experienced by the sliding asperity of a silicon AFM tip compared to the surrounding oxidized copper surface, showing that friction force microscopy serves as a facile, high contrast probe for identifying the presence of graphene on Cu.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of Atomic Stick-Slip Friction Examined with Atomic Force Microscopy and Atomistic Simulations at Overlapping Speeds

TL;DR: Experimental data unambiguously reveal a stick-slip friction plateau above a critical scanning speed, in agreement with the thermally activated Prandtl-Tomlinson (PTT) model, but friction in experiments is larger than in simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental dependence of atomic-scale friction at graphite surface steps

TL;DR: This paper showed that the presence of a small amount of water increases friction at atomic steps, but does not strongly influence friction on flat terraces, and that the friction between a nanoscale tip and atomically stepped surfaces of graphite is influenced by the environment.
