Relating Dry Friction to Interdigitation of Surface Passivation Species: A Molecular Dynamics Study on Amorphous Carbon

Friction in boundary lubrication is strongly influenced by the atomic structure of the sliding surfaces. In this work, friction between dry amorphous carbon (a-C) surfaces with chemisorbed fragments of lubricant molecules is investigated employing molecular dynamic simulations. The influence of leng...
