Influence of Elastic Stiffness and Surface Adhesion on Bouncing of Nanoparticles

Abstract Granular collisions are characterized by a threshold velocity, separating the low-velocity regime of grain sticking from the high-velocity regime of grain bouncing: the bouncing velocity, v b . This parameter is particularly important for nanograins and has applications for instance in astr...
