Atomistic wear mechanisms in diamond: effects of surface orientation, stress, and interaction with adsorbed molecules

Despite its unrivaled hardness, diamond can be severely worn during the interaction with others, even softer materials. In this work, we calculate from first-principles the energy and forces necessary to induce the atomistic wear of diamond and compare them for different surface orientations and pas...
