How do phonons lead to frictional energy dissipation?

18.12.2019 tribonet 664 Views

Friction is often associated with the generation of vibrations in the solids that are sliding over each other. Mathematically, these vibrations are described by the phonons in the two solids, the vibrational eigenmodes. Here, we […]
