MD Sliding Simulations of Amorphous Tribofilms Consisting of either SiO2 or Carbon

The sliding behaviors of two simplified tribofilms with amorphous structure consisting either of SiO2 molecules or C atoms were simulated by molecular dynamics modeling. The objective was to identify mechanisms explaining the experimentally observed lubricating properties of the two amorphous films....
