摩擦の素過程と動的制御の物理

—理論的アプローチ—

抄録

Nanoscale boundary lubrication and interfacial friction are studied using computer simulations based on extended Frenkel-Kontorova models. Several peculiar properties of static and kinetic frictional forces and the dynamics of lubrication are discussed. Some possible methods to control frictional forces and dynamics of lubrication are proposed and discussed in relation to the mechanism of nanomachines.
