Nanotribology and Nanomechanics: An IntroductionBharat Bhushan This volume serves as a timely, practical introduction to the principles of nanotribology and nanomechanics and applications to magnetic storage systems and MEMS/NEMS. Assuming some familiarity with macrotribology/mechanics, the book comprises chapters by internationally recognized experts, who integrate knowledge of the field from the mechanics and materials-science perspectives. Graduate students, research workers, and practicing engineers will find the book of value. |

Page 39 - He envisioned that if a potential difference is applied to two metals separated by a thin insulating film, a current will flow because of the ability of electrons to penetrate a potential barrier. To be able to measure a tunneling current, the two metals must be spaced no more than lOnm apart.
Page 4 - ... and of computational techniques for simulating tip-surface interactions and interfacial properties, has allowed systematic investigations of interfacial problems with high resolution as well as ways and means for modifying and manipulating nanoscale structures.

Page 4 - Consequently, the importance of investigating single asperity contacts in studies of the fundamental micromechanical and tribological properties of surfaces and interfaces has long been recognized. The recent emergence and proliferation of proximal probes, in particular tip-based microscopies (the atomic force microscope/friction microscope or AFM/FFM) and of computer simulations of tip-surface interactions and interfacial properties, provide nano-scale realizations of single asperity contacts, and...
