The effects of disordered edge and vanishing friction in microscale structural superlubric graphite contact

Abstract Structural superlubricity (SSL), a state of ultralow friction and no wear between two solid surfaces in contact, offers a fundamental solution for reducing friction and wear. Recent studies find that the edge pinning of SSL contact dominates the friction. However, its nature remains mysteri...
