Understanding and Preventing Lubrication Failure at the Carbon Atomic Steps (Small 37/2023)
Source abstract
Abstract
Carbon Atomic Steps At the graphene step edge, the armchair (AC) structure gives only a minor topographic effect on friction, while the zigzag (ZZ) structure induces friction two orders of magnitude larger than the basal friction. The high-friction ZZ edge becomes superlubricious through reconstructing to the (5,7) azulene-like structure upon thermal annealing in an inert gas environment. More details can be found in article number 2301515 by Linmao Qian, Seong H. Kim, Lei Chen, and co-workers.
