    Effect of inversion on thermoelastic and thermal transport properties of MgAl2O4 spinel by atomistic simulation

    MgAl2O4 is commonly found in the normal spinel structure with the Mg2+ ions located in tetrahedral sites and the Al3+ ions occupying octahedral sites. We use atomic-level simulation to characterize the effect of ...

    Friction Properties of Carbon Nano-Onions from Experiment and Computer Simulations

    The carbon nano-onion can be considered as a new kind of interesting lubricating nanoparticle. Used as lubricant additives, carbon nano-onions lead to a strong reduction of both friction and wear, even at low ...

    Frictional anisotropy of oriented carbon nanotube surfaces

    This report examines highly anisotropic tribological behavior of multi-walled nanotube films oriented in mutually orthogonal directions. The average values of coefficient of friction varied from extremely high...

    Atomic Scale Analysis of Cubic Zirconia Grain Boundaries

    The core structures of two symmetric tilt [001] grain boundaries in yttria- stabilized cubic zirconia are determined by Z-contrast imaging microscopy. In particular, near-Σ=13 (510) and Σ=5 (310) boundaries ar...

    Thin Film Growth as a Result of Cluster-Surface Collisions: Computational Simulations

    Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the chemical and structural processes which occur when molecular clusters of acetylene impact a non-rigid, hydrogenterminated diamond (111) sur...

    Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Atomic-Scale Adhesion, Deformation, Friction, and Modification of Diamond Surfaces

    We highlight our work dealing with molecular dynamics simulation of atomic-scale adhesion, deformation, friction, and surface modification of hydrogen-terminated diamond (111) surfaces. The simulations employ ...
