AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores the atomic-scale friction of a hybrid material made of fluorographene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) through detailed calculations.
- The unique structure leads to a very smooth energy surface and significantly lower shear strength, suggesting it can achieve superlubricity, which means very low friction.
- The research also shows that the size of these materials influences their friction characteristics, depending on how the Moiré patterns form in relation to the lattice mismatch.
Article Abstract
The atomic-scale friction of the fluorographene (FG)/MoS2 heterostructure is investigated using first-principles calculations. Due to the intrinsic lattice mismatch and formation of periodic Moiré patterns, the potential energy surface of the FG/MoS2 heterostructure is ultrasmooth and the interlayer shear strength is reduced by nearly two orders of magnitude, compared with both FG/FG and MoS2/MoS2 bilayers, entering the superlubricity regime. The size dependency of superlubricity is revealed as being based on the relationship between the emergence of Moiré patterns and the lattice mismatch ratio for heterostructures.
