We try to compare the interfacial bonding behavior of hydrogen-free DLC films in nitrogen or
nitrogen atoms environment by first principle calculation and molecular dynamics (MD) …

Controlling friction and wear at silica–diamond interfaces is crucial for their relevant
applications in tribology such as micro-electromechanical systems and atomic force …

A detailed understanding of diamond wear is crucial due to its use in high-performance
cutting tools. Despite being a much harder material, diamond shows appreciable wear when …

Amorphous carbon is replacing conventional hard masks in semiconductor fabrication due
to its exceptional etching selectivity towards silicate. After amorphous carbon deposition, a …

Despite its unrivaled hardness, diamond can be severely worn during the interaction with
others, even softer materials. In this work, we calculate from first-principles the energy and …

The effects of three materials (Fe, SiO 2, Al 2 O 3) on the tribological behavior and material
removal process of single crystal diamond (SCD) in a UV-catalyzed environment were …

In this work, the friction mechanism of amorphous carbon (aC) films in hydrogen (H 2),
nitrogen (N 2), and oxygen (O 2) atmospheres are investigated by using reactive molecular …

Despite its unrivaled hardness, polycrystalline diamond can be severely worn under the
interaction with softer copper during the ultrafine copper wire drawing process. The …

Despite the ubiquitous use of glasses, their simultaneous susceptibility toward scratch‐
induced defects and atmospheric hydration deteriorates their mechanical and chemical …

The atomic removal mechanism in plasma-assisted polishing (PAP) of single crystal
diamond (SCD) substrate is investigated using ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulation. For …
