Shearing the vacuum—quantum friction
We consider two perfectly smooth featureless surfaces at T = 0, defined only by their respective dielectric functions, separated by a finite distance, and ask the question of whether they can experience any friction when sheared parallel to their interface. We find large frictional effects comparable to everyday frictional forces provided that the materials have resistivities of the order of 1 ...
متن کاملVacuum friction in rotating particles.
We study the frictional torque acting on particles rotating in empty space. At zero temperature, vacuum friction transforms mechanical energy into light emission and produces particle heating. However, particle cooling relative to the environment occurs at finite temperatures and low rotation velocities. Radiation emission is boosted and its spectrum significantly departed from a hot-body emiss...
متن کاملFriction force microscopy investigations of potassium halide surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum: structure, friction and surface modification
Friction force microscopy measurements on the vacuum-cleaved (001) surfaces of KF, KCl and KBr have been carried out. All surfaces exhibit atomically flat terraces with monatomic steps aligned preferentially along low-index lattice directions. Stick-slip lateral forces with the lattice periodicity are observed on all surfaces. Tip-sample contact creates higher friction domains on the terraces o...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of friction under cryogenic conditions in vacuum
We have constructed a sliding block cryotribometer designed to measure friction at cryogenic temperatures and UHV conditions. An optical cryostat and high speed video was used to monitor the motion of the block. The temperature range of the measurements was 4–460 K. Both the static and dynamic friction coefficients were determined for a steel ball on stainless steel, sapphire, and PTFE (Teflon)...
متن کاملThe tribological properties of low-friction hydrogenated diamond-like carbon measured in ultrahigh vacuum
In this paper, we investigate the sliding friction and wear behavior of a hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) film in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and under partial pressures of water vapor, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. The initial friction coefficient of the film in UHV was 0.15, but decreased steadily to values as low as 0.03 after about 30 sliding passes. During longer duration tests, the fri...
