Friction as energy dissipation process associated with superlubricity of solids
摘要
The paper shows that work in a quantum system is quantized with energy; the quantum work is equivalent to the highest eigenenergy (the Debye energy) of the system and the superlubricity of solids is derived from the quantum work. The prerequisite for the superlubricity is that the lateral force at contact surfaces in sliding is less than the Debye force so that the phonon of the solids is not excited.
