Observation of high-speed microscale superlubricity in graphite.
A sheared microscopic graphite mesa retracts spontaneously to minimize interfacial energy. Using an optical knife-edge technique, we report first measurements of the speeds of such self-retracting motion (SRM) from the mm/s range at room temperature to 25 m/s at 235°C [corrected]. This remarkably high speed is comparable with the upper theoretical limit found for sliding interfaces exhibiting s...
متن کاملSuperlubricity of Graphite Induced by Multiple Transferred Graphene Nanoflakes
2D or 3D layered materials, such as graphene, graphite, and molybdenum disulfide, usually exhibit superlubricity properties when sliding occurs between the incommensurate interface lattices. This study reports the superlubricity between graphite and silica under ambient conditions, induced by the formation of multiple transferred graphene nanoflakes on the asperities of silica surfaces after th...
متن کاملGraphene Nanoflakes: Superlubricity of Graphite Induced by Multiple Transferred Graphene Nanoflakes (Adv. Sci. 3/2018)
Superlubricity between graphite and silica is achieved under ambient conditions, induced by the formation of multiple transferred graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) on a silica surface. As reported by Jinjin Li and co-workers in article number 1700616, the friction coefficient could be reduced to 0.0003 at a maximal local contact pressure of 700 MPa because of the extremely weak interaction and easy sl...
متن کاملRobust microscale superlubricity under high contact pressure enabled by graphene-coated microsphere
Superlubricity of graphite and graphene has aroused increasing interest in recent years. Yet how to obtain a long-lasting superlubricity between graphene layers, under high applied normal load in ambient atmosphere still remains a challenge but is highly desirable. Here, we report a direct measurement of sliding friction between graphene and graphene, and graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h...
متن کاملObservation of Landau levels of Dirac fermions in graphite
The unique electronic behaviour of monolayer and bilayer graphene is a result of the unusual quantum-relativistic characteristics of the so-called ‘Dirac fermions’ (DFs) that carry charge in these materials. Although DFs in monolayer graphene move as if they were massless, and in bilayer graphene they do so with non-zero mass, all DFs show chirality, which gives rise to an unusual Landau level ...
