Frictional Characteristics of Atomically-Thin Sheets

TL;DR: Using friction force microscopy, the nanoscale frictional characteristics of atomically thin sheets of graphene, molybdenum disulfide, niobium diselenide, and hexagonal boron nitride are compared to those of their bulk counterparts, suggesting that the trend arises from the thinner sheets’ increased susceptibility to out-of-plane elastic deformation.
