Radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (2005)
Palaci, I., Fedrigo, S., Brune, H., Klinke, C., Chen, M., Riedo, E.
We report an experimental and a theoretical study of the radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a function of external radius. We use atomic force microscopy and apply small indentation...
The 2/3 power law dependence of capillary force on normal load in nanoscopic friction (2004)
Riedo, E., Pallaci, I., Boragno, C., Brune, H.
During the sliding of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip on a rough hydrophilic surface, water capillary bridges form between the tip and the asperities of the sample surface. These water bridges...
Interaction potential and hopping dynamics governing sliding friction (2003)
Riedo, E., Gnecco, E., Bennewitz, R., Meyer, E., Brune, H.
The friction force on a nanometer-sized tip sliding on a surface is related to the thermally activated hopping of the contact atoms on an effective atomic interaction potential. A general analytical...
Young modulus dependence of nanoscopic friction coefficient in hard coatings (2003)
We present an atomic force microscope study of nanoscopic sliding friction on diamond, diamond-like carbon, and on three CrN thin films with varying hardness obtained by different growth...
Kinetics of capillary condensation in nanoscopic sliding friction (2002)
Riedo, E., Levy, F., Brune, H.
The velocity and humidity dependence of nanoscopic sliding friction has been studied on CrN and diamondlike carbon surfaces with an atomic force microscope. The surface wettability is found to be...
Aruta, C., Zegenhagen, J., Cowie, B., Balestrino, G., Pasquini, G., Medaglia, P.G., ...
Structural properties of [BaCuOx](2)/[CaCuO2](n) superconducting superlattices with a number of CaCuO2 layers ranging between 2 and 3 were investigated using synchrotron radiation, by coplanar...
Riedo, E., Chevrier, J., Comin, F., Brune, H.
The tribological behavior of carbon based thin films is strongly influenced by their chemical composition, polycrystalline structure and surface morphology. We present friction measurements on laser...
Abbet, S., Riedo, E., Brune, H., Heiz, U., Ferrari, A. M., Giordano, L., ...
CO adsorption on Pd atoms deposited on MgO(100) thin films has been studied by means of thermal desorption (TDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. CO desorbs from the adsorbed Pd...
