Atomic force microscopy: Methods and applications
(Elsevier, 2017)This chapter provides an overview of atomic force microscopy, covering the fundamental aspects of the associated instrumentation and methodology as well as representative results from the literature highlighting a variety ... -
Frictional properties of quasi-two-dimensional materials from the Prandtl-Tomlinson model
(Bilkent University, 2016-10)Tribology, the study of friction, is both an old theoretical problem in physics and an area of great practical importance. The invention of experimental instruments such as Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has lead to the ... -
Influence of interface structure on the nanotribological properties of exfoliated graphene
(Bilkent University, 2016-07)On the nano- and micro-scale, conventional liquid-based lubrication cannot be utilized to minimize friction due to excessive surface tension and related effects. To overcome this limitation, solid lubricants suitable for ... -
Investigation of structural lubricity on platinum nanoparticles under ambient conditions
(Bilkent University, 2017-05)Structural lubricity describes a state of ultra-low friction involving relative motion between atomically flat and molecularly clean surfaces with incommensurate structures. While the occurrence of structural lubricity was ... -
Nanotribological properties of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto silicon oxide substrates
(Bilkent University, 2015)To extend the lifespan of mechanical systems, wear and friction must be minimized with the utilization of lubricants. On the other hand, traditional fluid-based lubrication schemes fail in nano- and micro-scale systems ... -
Structure and nanotribology of thermally deposited gold nanoparticles on graphite
(Bilkent University, 2015)Forming a complete understanding of the physical mechanisms that govern friction on the nanometer and atomic scales is an ongoing endeavor for scientists from various disciplines. While atomic force microscopy (AFM) has ... -
Structure and nanotribology of thermally deposited gold nanoparticles on graphite
(Elsevier, 2015)We present experiments involving the structural and frictional characterization of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) thermally deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The effect of thermal deposition amount, as ...
