Silicene Like Domains on IrSi3 Crystallites Dylan Nicholls, Fatima, Deniz Çakır, Nuri Oncel* Department of Physics and Astrophysics University of North Dakota Grand Forks, North Dakota, 58202, USA *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Abstract: Recently, silicene, the graphene equivalent of silicon, has attracted a lot of attention due to its compatibility with Si-based electronics. So far, silicene has been epitaxy grown on various crystalline surfaces such as Ag(110), Ag(111), Ir(111), ZrB2(0001) and Au(110) substrates. Here, we present a new method to grow silicene via high temperature surface reconstruction of hexagonal IrSi3 nanocrystals. The h-IrSi3 nanocrystals are formed by annealing thin Ir layers on Si(111) surface. A detailed analysis of the STM images shows the formation of silicene like domains on the surface of some of the IrSi3 crystallites. -

Current address: Materials Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. y Received: 25 April 2019; Accepted: 3 June 2019; Published: 7 June 2019 Abstract: Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements of nanotribological properties of statistically diverse materials combinations of nanoparticles and substrate electrodes in aqueous suspensions are reported and compared to macroscale measurements of the same materials combinations for a subset of the nanoparticle combinations. 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. -

We find that the Q-factors in ZnO nanoresonators with free polar (0001) surfaces are about one order of magnitude higher than in nanoresonators that have been stabilized with reduced charges on the polar (0001) surfaces. From normal mode analysis, we show that the higher Q-factor is due to a shell-like reconstruction that occurs for the free polar surfaces. -

Nanotribological Studies Using Nanoparticle Manipulation: Principles and Application to Structural Lubricity
Friction 2(2): 114–139 (2014) ISSN 2223-7690 DOI 10.1007/s40544-014-0054-2 CN 10-1237/TH REVIEW ARTICLE Nanotribological studies using nanoparticle manipulation: Principles and application to structural lubricity Dirk DIETZEL1,*, Udo D. 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.
