Lubricant evolution and depletion under laser heating : a molecular dynamics study by Li, Yong, Wong, Chee How, Li, Bei, Yu, Shengkai, Hua, Wei, Zhou, Weidong

“…A temperature gradient is formed in the radial direction due to the heat transfer between the heated beads and the surrounding lubricants. During the cooling process, the strong functional interaction between end-beads and the substrate layer hinders the recovery and redistribution of depleted lubricant beads, resulting in an undersaturated film. …”
