The tribology of a bubble rubbing on a solid surface is studied via interferometry. A unique experimental setup is designed for monitoring the thickness profiles of a wetting film, intercalated between the bubble and hydrophilic glass moving with speed up to 412 um/s. The determination of the 3D film thickness profiles allows us to calculate 3D maps over the wetted surface of the local capillary, disjoining and lift pressures, viscous stress and friction force. In this way the average friction force and the corresponding friction coefficient are obtained. A theoretical model for the dependence of the friction coefficient on the film thickness is developed. The relevant slip coefficient, being a measure for the slip between liquid and solid, is determined as a function of the speed of the solid surface. It is found out that below 170 um/s a friction regime exists which formally resembles dry friction, while at larger speed the friction force between the bubble and solid passes through a maximum. Furthermore, the friction coefficient has a large value at low speed of the solid and reduces substantially with the speed increase.

We report on the effect of intermolecular forces on the fluctuations of supported liquid films. Using an optically-induced thermal gradient, we form nanometer-thin films of wetting liquids on glass substrates, where van der Waals forces are balanced by thermocapillary forces. We show that the fluctuation dynamics of the film interface is strongly modified by intermolecular forces at lower frequencies. Data spanning three frequency decades are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions accounting for van der Waals forces. Our results emphasize the relevance of intermolecular forces on thermal fluctuations when fluids are confined at the nanoscale.
Lubricants are widely used in macroscopic mechanical systems to reduce friction and wear. However, on the microscopic scale, it is not clear to what extent lubricants are beneficial. Therefore, in this study, we consider two diamond solid-state gears at the nanoscale immersed in different lubricant molecules and perform classical MD simulations to investigate the rotational transmission of motion. We find that lubricants can help to synchronize the rotational transmission between gears regardless of the molecular species and the center-of-mass distance. Moreover, the influence of the angular velocity of the driving gear is investigated and shown to be related to the bond formation process between gears.
We show that the thin films of Weyl semimetals have a regime of parameters in which they develop very flat Landau bands under strong magnetic fields. Addressing the case of thin films in a perpendicular magnetic field, we observe that two different t ypes of Landau states may arise depending on whether the line connecting a pair of opposite Weyl nodes is parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. In the latter instance, we show that the flat Landau bands are made of states peaked at the two faces of the thin film. When the line connecting the Weyl nodes is parallel to the magnetic field, we see instead that the states in the Landau bands take the form of stationary waves with significant amplitude across the bulk of the material. In either case, the states in the flat levels are confined along longitudinal sections of the thin film, turning into edge states with distinctive profiles at the lateral boundaries for the two different types of Hall effect.
Solid state electronics relies on the intentional introduction of impurity atoms or dopants into a semiconductor crystal and/or the formation of junctions between different materials (heterojunctions) to create rectifiers, potential barriers, and con ducting pathways. With these building blocks, switching and amplification of electrical currents and voltages is achieved. As miniaturization continues to ultra-scaled transistors with critical dimensions on the order of ten atomic lengths, the concept of doping to form rectifying junctions fails and heterojunction formation becomes extremely difficult. Here it is shown there is no need to introduce dopant atoms nor is the formation of a heterojunction required to achieve the fundamental electronic function of current rectification. Ideal diode behavior or rectification is achieved for the first time solely by manipulation of quantum confinement in approximately 2 nanometer thick films consisting of a single atomic element, the semimetal bismuth. Crucially for nanoelectronics, this new quantum approach enables room temperature operation.
We present an extensive experimental and theoretical study of surface acoustic wave-driven ferromagnetic resonance. In a first modeling approach based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, we derive expressions for the magnetization dynamics upon magnetoelastic driving that are used to calculate the absorbed microwave power upon magnetic resonance as well as the spin current density generated by the precessing magnetization in the vicinity of a ferromagnet/normal metal interface. In a second modeling approach, we deal with the backaction of the magnetization dynamics on the elastic wave by solving the elastic wave equation and the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation selfconsistently, obtaining analytical solutions for the acoustic wave phase shift and attenuation. We compare both modeling approaches with the complex forward transmission of a LiNbO$_3$/Ni surface acoustic wave hybrid device recorded experimentally as a function of the external magnetic field orientation and magnitude, rotating the field within three different planes and employing three different surface acoustic wave frequencies. We find quantitative agreement of the experimentally observed power absorption and surface acoustic wave phase shift with our modeling predictions using one set of parameters for all field configurations and frequencies.
