Due to its excellent mechanical properties and stable chemical behaviours, the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating has been extensively used as a low-frictional and wear-resistant protective coating in MEMS. However, its efficacy on resisting nanofretting damage of silicon substrate needs to be verified. With an atomic force microscopy, the nanofretting behaviours of ultrathin DLC coating and its Si(100)...
With an atomic force microscopy, the tangential nanofretting between spherical SiO2 tips and monocrystalline Si(100) surface was carried out at various displacement amplitudes (0.5–250 nm) under vacuum condition. Similar to fretting, the nanofretting of Si(100)/SiO2 pair could also be divided into stick regime and slip regime upon the transition criterion. However, it was found that the energy ratio...
Nanofretting refers to cyclic movements of contact interfaces with the relative displacement amplitude at the nanometer scale, where the contact area and normal load are usually much smaller than those in fretting. Nanofretting widely exists in microelctromechanical systems (MEMS) and may become a key tribological concern besides microwear and adhesion. With a triboindenter, the nanofretting behaviors...
