Static friction scaling of physisorbed islands: The key is in the edge

Academic Article
Publication Date:
2015
abstract:
The static friction preventing the free sliding of nanosized rare gas solid islands physisorbed on incommensurate crystalline surfaces is not completely understood. Simulations modeled on Kr/Pb(111) highlight the importance and the scaling behavior of the island's edge contribution to static friction.
