Keywords: Gaussian potential, Birman–Schwinger operator, trace class operator, harmonic oscillator. Received: 4 November 2019 1. Introduction As is well known, the harmonic oscillator is one of the very few solvable quantum models, that is to say its eigenfunctions and eigenvalues can be expressed analytically. As a consequence, one of the most fundamental chapters in any quantum mechanics textbook, such as [1], is devoted to its detailed description. This remarkable property has led theoretical physicists to study various types of models involving perturbations of the harmonic oscillator over many decades. In our inevitably limited summary of the related literature, we have chosen to restrict ourselves to time independent perturbations of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. The numerous contributions spanning many decades can be essentially divided into the following groups: i) polynomial perturbations; ii) nonpolynomial perturbations; iii) point perturbations. The x4-perturbation was the first polynomial perturbation to be extensively investigated also because of its con- d2 nections with Quantum Field Theory. As the Hamiltonian − + x2 + βx4 is one of the key topics in [2, 3], we dx2 refer the interested reader to those textbooks and the related references cited therein (see [4] in particular). We remind the reader that the non-analyticity of its eigenvalues as functions of β was a well-known thorny issue in the early days of quantum mechanics. However, it is possible to exploit the Borel summability method to get around this obstacle (see Theorems XII.19, XII.21 and Example 1 for both theorems in [3]). A modified Borel transform allows the exten- d2 sion of the method to Hamiltonians of the type − + x2 + βx2m; m ≥ 3 (see Example 3 for Theorems XII.20, dx2 XII.21 in [3]). Another noteworthy polynomial perturbation is the one leading to the double well oscillator whose d2 d2 Hamiltonian is given by − + x2 + 2βx2 + β2x4 = − + x2(1 + βx)2. In particular, the analyticity of its dx2 dx2 eigenvalues is dealt with in Example 6 following Theorems XII.16.5 in [3] and the related references cited therein. Another important branch of polynomial perturbations is the one of the type βx2m+1; m ≥ 0, which had its origin d2 in the early investigations on the Hamiltonian of the real cubic oscillator − + x2 + βx3 (see, e.g., [5, 6]) and dx2 was initially studied in [7, 8]. Further interest has been drawn into the cubic anharmonic oscillator by the fact that the 2 d 2 1 3 Hamiltonian − + x + iβ 2 x ; β > 0 is PT-symmetric (see [9, 10]).

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.

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. This improved sensitivity extends magnetic resonance imaging into the nanometer realm. Keywords: AFM, Diatoms, Frustule 1. SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY In the early 1980ies of the last century, researchers at the IBM Zürich research laboratories invented a new type of microscope: the scanning tunneling microscope (STM, [1]).

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.
