Najvýznamnejšie výsledky vedeckej práce 2.3.1. Základný výskum 1. miesto:L. Šamaj Štatistická mechanika coulombovských systémov V súbore prác sa zaoberáme problémom rovnovážnej štatistickej mechaniky dvoj a trojrozmernýchĽ klasických a kvantových systémov častíc pôsobiacich na seba cez coulombovskú interakciu. Prehadové články číslo II a III v časopise Acta Physica Slovaca budú tvori čas knihy ĚCambridge University Pressě o presne riešitených/integrovatených modeloch interagujúcich častíc. Čas výsledkov sa týka odvodeniu sumačných pravidiel pre nábojové korelačné funkcie coulombovských systémov v blízkosti rozhrania medzi dvomi odlišnými elektrickými médiamiĽ v kvantovom ako aj klasickom prípadeĽ s uvážením retardačných efektov. V ostatných článkoch sa zameriavame najmä na opis efektívnej interakcie makroiónov vnorených do elektrolyte pri nízkych teplotách. Odvodili sme teóriu založenú na Wignerovej kryštalizácii nábojov elektrolytu na povrchu makroiónov pri nulovej teplote a uvážení ich harmonických vibráciách okolo rovnovážnych polôh. VýsledkyĽ ktoré sú v perfektnej zhode so simuláciami Monte CarloĽ potvrdzujú efektívne priahovanie sa rovnako nabitých makroiónov v elektrolyte pri nízkych teplotách. Teória bola zovšeobecnená na prípad asymetrického náboja makroiónov ako aj na možnos dielektrických nehomogenít v systéme. Statistical mechanics of Coulomb systems In the series of works, we study the equilibrium statistical mechanics of two- and three-dimensional, classical and quantum systems of particles with the Coulomb interaction. Review articles No. II and III published in Acta Physica Slovaca will form a part of the planned book (Cambridge University Press) about exactly solvable/integrable models of many-body systems. Some of the results concerns the derivation of exact sum rules for the charge correlation functions of Coulomb systems near an interface between two distinct electrical media, in the quantum as well as classical cases, taking into account retardation effects. In the remaining papers, we concentrate on the derivation of an effective interaction between macrions immersed into an electrolyte at low temperature. We established a theory based on the Wigner crystallization of electrolyte charges on the macroion surfaces at zero temperature and the consideration of their harmonic vibrations around equilibrium positions. The obtained results, which are in perfect agreement with Monte-Carlo simulations, confirm an effective attraction of equally charged macroions in an electrolyte at low temperatures. The theory was generalized to asymmetrically charged macroions and to the possibility of dielectric inhomogeneities in the system. [1] L. ŠamajŚ Acta Physica Slovaca 60 ĚŇ010ě 155-257. [2] Z.

Four ceramic nanoparticles, TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) and ten substrate materials (Au, Al, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pt, SiO2, Al2O3, and SS304) were studied. The QCM technique was employed to measure frequency and motional resistance changes upon introduction of nanoparticles into the water surrounding its liquid-facing electrode. This series of experiments expanded prior studies that were often limited to a single nanoparticle - solid liquid combination. The variations in QCM response from one nanoparticle to another are observed to be far greater than the variation from one substrate to another, indicating that the nanoparticles play a larger role than the substrates in determining the frictional drag force levels.

  • Nanotribological Studies Using Nanoparticle Manipulation: Principles and Application to Structural Lubricity

SCHWARZ2, André SCHIRMEISEN1 1 Institute of Applied Physics (IAP), Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Germany 2 Departments of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science and Chemical & Environmental Engineering and Center for Research on Structures and Phenomena (CRISP), Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA Received: 13 April 2014 / Accepted: 02 June 2014 © The author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract: The term “structural lubricity” denotes a fundamental concept where the friction between two atomically flat surfaces is reduced due to lattice mismatch at the interface. Under favorable circumstances, its effect may cause a contact to experience ultra-low friction, which is why it is also referred to as “superlubricity”. While the basic principle is intriguingly simple, the experimental analysis of structural lubricity has been challenging. One of the main reasons for this predicament is that the tool most frequently used in nanotribology, the friction force microscope, is not well suited to analyse the friction of extended nanocontacts. To overcome this deficiency, substantial efforts have been directed in recent years towards establishing nanoparticle manipulation techniques, where the friction of nanoparticles sliding on a substrate is measured, as an alternative approach to nanotribological research. By choosing appropriate nanoparticles and substrates, interfaces exhibiting the characteristics needed for the occurrence of structural lubricity can be created. As a consequence, nanoparticle manipulation experiments such as in this review represent a unique opportunity to study the physical conditions and processes necessary to establish structural lubricity, thereby opening a path to exploit this effect in technological applications.

  • NANOTRIBOLOGY - the Road to No WEAR! by Richie Khandelwal (MT03B023) & Sahil Sahni (MT03B024)
    NANOTRIBOLOGY - The road to no WEAR! by Richie Khandelwal (MT03B023) & Sahil Sahni (MT03B024) Feynman once said "there is plenty of room at the bottom". Today we experience the relevance of this statement with the improvement in properties with decreasing size observed in the field of Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology literally means any technology performed at the nanoscale that has applications to the real world. Going from macro to micro scale, the surface area to volume ratio increases considerably and the surface forces such as fiction, adhesion, meniscus forces, viscous drag, and surface area significantly increase. With advances in technology the size of mechanical, electrical and optical components is reducing at a very fast pace. Incorporation of sensing and computing to actuation is currently in it’s early stages. Rapid actuation requires fast moving interacting surfaces. Current advances in magnetic storage devices, MEMS, nanotechnology, micro-engines, all involve basic issues of friction, wear, adhesion and lubrication. The need to miniaturize the components has presented challenges and the importance of tribology at a proportionate scale is being felt. This advent of micro/nanostructures and the subsequent miniaturization of moving components for various nanotechnology applications have ascribed paramount importance to the tribology and mechanics on the nanoscale. Materials with low friction and adhesion are desirable. And hence "Nanotribology" is today one of the most important mechanical technology. So to understand nanotribology it is important to first define tribology. "Tribology" is a combination of two Greek words - "tribo" and "logy". "Tribo" means rubbing and "logy" means knowledge. The Greeks originally applied it to understand the motion of large stones across the earth's surface.

  • Scanning Probe Microscopy Across Dimensions
    SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY ACROSS DIMENSIONS Ille C. Gebeshuber1,2, Richard A. P. Smith2, Hannspeter Winter2 and Friedrich Aumayr2 1 Austrian Center of Competence for Tribology ACC2T research GmbH, Viktor Kaplan-Straße 2, 2700 Wiener Neustadt, Austria 2 Institut für Allgemeine Physik, Technische Universität Wien, Wiedner Hauptstraße 8- 10/E134, 1040 Vienna, Austria Abstract. Scanning probe microscopy offers interesting approaches to not only image but also manipulate samples in the micro- and nanoscale regime. Atomic force microscopy became one of the most versatile microscopy methods in biology, since this type of microscopy works under ambient conditions and in many cases, no extensive sample preparation is necessary. From imaging single living cells to large protein molecules and even more interestingly protein-protein interactions in real time, to micro- and nanoscale investigations of mechanical parameters such as viscoelasticity, atomic force microscopy has proved a useful technique. Imaging biomolecules at atomic resolution is a dream which might come true within the next few years. A powerful new technique is magnetic resonance force microscopy, combining three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging with the excellent force sensitivity of the atomic force microscope. This type of microscopy opens the possibility of performing scanning probe magnetic resonance imaging with a sensitivity more than 10 million times better than the sensitivity of the medical magnetic resonance imaging devices for visualizing of organs in the human body.

Baykara, Chair Date University of California, Merced 2020 iii Abstract Nanotribology of MoS2 Investigated via Atomic Force Microscopy Ogulcan Acikgoz M.S. in Mechanical Engineering Advisor: Mehmet Z. Baykara May 2020 The potential use of two-dimensional (2D) materials as solid lubricants in micro-and nano-scale mechanical systems draws significant attention, mainly due to the fact that liquid based lubrication schemes fail at such small length scales. Within this context, the lamellar material molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), in the form of a single or few layers, emerges as a promising candidate for the solid lubrication of small-scale mechanical systems. Motivated as above, this thesis focuses on the nanotribological properties of mechanically exfoliated MoS2, explored via state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments. First, the dependence of friction force on sliding speed is investigated for single-layer and bulk MoS2 samples. The results demonstrate that (i) friction forces increase logarithmically with respect to sliding speed, (ii) there is no correlation between the speed dependence of friction and the number of layers of MoS2, and (iii) changes in the speed dependence of friction can be attributed to changes in the physical characteristics of the AFM probe.
