| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Laws of dynamic nano-friction (i.e., continuous wearless friction) accompanying steady sliding motion between crystal lattices constituting a nano-electromechanical system (NEMS) were searched for under steady spatial distributions of the local quasi-temperature, by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The temperature control of the non-conservative model was carried out by extending the isothermal MD method using thermostats. A threshold phenomenon was predicted as a common feature characterizing dependence of the wearless-frictional resistance on the sliding velocity. A simple relationship was found between the threshold sliding velocity and the lattice-constant ratio. A further insight into the heat-generation dynamics was provided by the analysis of the forced vibration of the crystal lattices caused by the sliding motion. These results suggested an atomistic mechanism of energy dissipation underlying the threshold characteristics.
