Statistics of Sliding on Periodic and Atomically Flat Surfaces
Among the so-called analytical models of friction, the most popular and widely used one, the Prandtl-Tomlinson model in one and two dimensions is considered here to numerically describe the sliding of the tip within an atomic force microscope over a periodic and atomically flat surface. Because in t...
