Micro/nano tribology
K. Mylvaganam and L.C. Zhang, University of New South Wales, Australia
Abstract:
This chapter discusses the micro/nano sliding of materials in terms of adhesion, wear, friction and lubrication, using both experimental and theoretical methods such as SFA, STM, AFM, FFM and molecular dynamics simulation. A focus is to understand some characteristic phenomena associated with micro/nano tribology such as the scale effect of friction and wear deformation transition on no-wear, adhesion, ploughing and cutting regimes.

4.1 Introduction
Micro/nano tribology concerns the friction and wear of two objects in relative sliding whose dimensions range from micro-scales ...
