| Research Abstract |
Novel lubrication phenomena concerning directed motion of atoms on solid surfaces were studied using computer simulations of an atomic lattice model. We considered the possibility of lubrication which is based on a spatiotemporal modulation method. It is found that several novel lubrication states occurs under certain conditions on the modulation and interfacial parameters. Complicated behaviors appear in the novel lubrication states. In related systems we also clarified the physical properties of the directed transport which have a close relationship with the novel lubrication phenomena.
