On the asymptotic expressions of critical energy barrier in Prandtl-Tomlinson model

The Prandtl-Tomlinson (PT) model is the most widely used and successful minimalistic model to describe atomistic scale friction. It can describe the thermally activated, stress assistant process which shows stick-slip frictional behavior. The relationship between the energy barrier and lateral force...
