Investigation of the effects of commensurability on friction between concentric carbon nanotubes

That a commensurate contact usually leads to greater friction than an incommensurate one is a commonly held view in nanotribology. However, this perception seems paradoxical as commensurability is found to have negligible effect on the energy dissipation in double-walled carbon nanotube (DWNT) based...
