Abstract

Atomic-scale frictional phenomena at solid surfaces, such as pinning and dissipative sliding of solids, are studied theoretically and numerically. The pinning behavior at realistic solid surfaces shows the universality determined by the spatial dimension of the interface between solids, regardless of the spatial dimension of solids. We find complicated sliding velocity dependence with peak structures in the kinetic frictional force. Using a perturbation technique, it is understood that such velocity dependence is caused by resonance effects between two solids.
