Atomic-scale friction behavior of layered graphene and graphene-like BN materials modulated by interaction potential

The understanding of fundamental issues related to friction at the atomic scale remains a great challenge due to the large difference between macroscopic and microscopic frictional behaviors. Here based on first-principles calculations, the applicability of macroscopic friction laws to the atomic sc...
