Molecular Tribometry of Ultrathin Liquid Films
Abstract
We study the resistance to sliding of liquid films 1-6 molecules thick. The apparent dynamic viscosity at 1 Hz of nonpolar liquids confined between parallel plates of atomically smooth mica is considerably enhanced over that of the isotropic fluids and shows extreme dependence on pressure. Rapid, reversible switching between liquidlike and noncompliant responses as a function of small changes in normal pressure is also found, suggesting a phase transition to a solidlike structure.

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.
