This second edition of Handbook of Micro/Nanotribology addresses the rapid evolution within this field, serving as a reference for the novice and the expert alike. Two parts divide this handbook: Part I covers basic studies, and Part II addresses design, construction, and applications to magnetic storage devices and MEMS.
Discussions include:
surface physics and methods for physically and chemically characterizing solid surfaces
roughness characterization and static contact models using fractal analysis
sliding at the interface and friction on an atomic scale
scratching and...
