摘要:

我们报道了利用电场主动控制纳米级粗糙体和La $_{0.55}$ Ca $_{0.45}$ MnO $_3$(LCMO)薄膜之间的接触摩擦力。我们使用摩擦力显微镜在微真空条件下测量的摩擦力,因为我们改变薄膜的电阻状态的电场诱导的电阻开关。摩擦力在绝缘状态下很高,当探测的局部区域切换到导电状态时,摩擦力明显地改变为较低值。在切换回绝缘状态时,摩擦力再次增加。因此,我们证明了摩擦的主动控制,而不必改变接触温度或压力。通过与测量的摩擦在金属到绝缘体的过渡和施加的电压对粘附力的影响进行比较,我们排除了电子激发,静电力和接触面积的变化的原因,电阻开关对摩擦的影响。相反,我们认为,摩擦是有限的声子弛豫时间强烈耦合到电子自由度通过扭曲的MnO 6八面体。通过电场控制摩擦力的概念应该适用于电场产生声子寿命强烈变化的任何材料。

英文摘要:

We report active control of the friction force at the contact between a nanoscale asperity and a La$_{0.55}$Ca$_{0.45}$MnO$_3$ (LCMO) thin film using electric fields. We use friction force microscopy under ultrahigh vacuum conditions to measure the friction force as we change the film resistive state by electric field-induced resistive switching. Friction forces are high in the insulating state and clearly change to lower values when the probed local region is switched to the conducting state. Upon switching back to an insulating state, the friction forces increase again. Thus, we demonstrate active control of friction without having to change the contact temperature or pressure. By comparing with measurements of friction at the metal-to-insulator transition and with the effect of applied voltage on adhesion, we rule out electronic excitations, electrostatic forces and changes in contact area as the reasons for the effect of resistive switching on friction. Instead, we argue that friction is limited by phonon relaxation times which are strongly coupled to the electronic degrees of freedom through distortions of the MnO6 octahedra. The concept of controlling friction forces by electric fields should be applicable to any materials where the field produces strong changes in phonon lifetimes.
