The atomic force microscopy (AFM) based direct nanoscratching has been thoroughly
studied but the mechanism of nanoscratching with water-layer lubrication is yet to be well …

In this work, three different tips are considered to study the influences on the friction and
wear behaviors of monocrystalline silicon covered with an amorphous SiO 2 film using …

The effect of water film on the nanoscratching behavior of monocrystalline Cu was studied
by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results indicate that the friction force acting on …

In order to investigate the tribological property of the gallium nitride (GaN) crystal at the
nanoscale, a series of molecular dynamics nanoscratch simulations are carried out on the …

We consider a nanomachining process of hard, abrasive particles grinding on the rough
surface of a polycrystalline ferritic work piece. Using extensive large-scale molecular …

The surface planarity and asperity removal behavior on atomic scale in an ultrathin water
environment were studied for a nanoscale process by molecular dynamics simulation …

One of the frontier of nanoscience is undoubtedly represented by the use of
nanotechnologies in the pharmaceutical research. During the last decades a big family of …

The mechanical behavior of nanoscale materials is strongly influenced by the working
conditions. The corresponding research about plastic properties, however, is very limited …

To emphasize the effect of humid or liquid circumstances on the mechanical behavior of
metallic thin films with dimensions down to the nanoscale, atomistic simulations were …

Background: Nanomachining techniques not only provide novel opportunities to fabricate
three-dimensional nanostructures, but also induce great challenges in understanding their …
