Understanding the friction of atomically thin layered materials
Despite the fact that layered materials are often employed as lubricants, many of the underlying mechanisms are still controversial. Here the authors present a fundamental model for describing friction on atomically thin sheets that reveals the dynamics of strengthening and layer-number dependence o...
