Nanofriction and motion of topological defects in self-organized ion Coulomb crystals
We study nanofriction in an ion Coulomb crystal under the presence of a topological defect. We have previously observed signatures of the pinning to sliding transition i.e. the symmetry breaking at the critical point and the existence of a vibrational soft mode. Here we discuss how they depend on th...
