Description:
Author(s): Philip Egberts, Zhijiang Ye, Xin Z. Liu, Yalin Dong, Ashlie Martini, and Robert W. Carpick Atomic force microscopy experiments and molecular dynamics simulations show that friction between a nanoscale tip and atomically stepped surfaces of graphite is influenced by the environment. The presence of a small amount of water increases friction at atomic steps, but does not strongly influence ... [Phys. Rev. B 88, 035409] Published Wed Jul 03, 2013
