AI 中文摘要
结构超润滑性是指两个结构不匹配的晶体表面间摩擦力几乎消失的现象，在应用中有望降低摩擦，但需要非常特殊且可控的条件，其中之一是原子级平整表面。实际表面通常粗糙，导致压力分布不均匀。本文以刚性接触的解析计算为基础，用分子动力学模拟简单模型来考虑弹性关键效应，研究非均匀压力分布对结构超润滑性的影响。结果表明接触边缘压力消失是关键因素，能改善脱钉和标度行为，降低摩擦，即非均匀压力分布有助于而非阻碍结构超润滑性。
英文摘要
Structural superlubricity, nearly vanishing friction between two structurally incommensurate crystalline surfaces, is a promising avenue for reducing friction in applications, but requires very specific and well-controlled conditions. One of those conditions is perfectly uniform atomically flat surfaces. Real-world surfaces are generally rough, leading to nonuniform pressure distributions. We investigate the effects of nonuniform pressure distributions on structural superlubricity, using analytical calculations for rigid contacts as a basis, and molecular-dynamics simulations for a simple model to include the crucial effects of elasticity. We show that a key ingredient is the vanishing pressure at the edge of the contact, and that this leads to improved scaling depinning and scaling behaviour, leading to lower friction. We thus show that nonuniform pressure distributions actually help structural superlubricity, rather than hinder it.
