Atomistic Wear in a Single Asperity Sliding Contact
Abstract
Abrasive wear of sharp silicon tips sliding distances of up to 750 m on a polymeric surface is studied using atomic force microscopy. The data cannot be explained by conventional macroscopic wear models. We present a new model in which the barrier for breaking an atomic bond is lowered by the frictional stress acting on the contact. Quantitative agreement is obtained between the model and wear data for all load forces and sliding distances studied.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
