Water lubrication has been attracting attention for environment-friendly society due to low CO2 emission. Furthermore, carbon-based materials such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) show the low friction properties in water lubrication due to the oxidation reaction on the surface in pre-sliding. However, the influence of oxidation reactions on low friction mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we clarify...
Sintering of Ni particles in the Ni-based anode is a major obstacle to the widespread use of solid oxide fuel cell because the sintering induces the degradation in the anode. The large amount of water vapor in the fuel is known to accelerate the degradation during the operation. However, the detailed accelerated sintering mechanism is unclear. In this study, to clear the accelerated sintering mechanism...
To elucidate the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) performance of perovskite oxide abrasive grain for glass, we investigated electronic states of CaZrO3 and SrFeO3 by the first-principles calculation. The calculation results show that the Zr and Fe atoms in CaZrO3 and SrFeO3 take low valence states. We suggest that the metal atoms in perovskite oxide are effective for the glass polishing since low-valent...
We developed a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) simulator based on tight-binding quantum chemical molecular dynamics method and applied it to gallium nitride (GaN) CMP process. We successfully clarified the chemical reaction dynamics at the friction interface between the GaN substrate and an abrasive grain in pure water; surface-adsorbed H2O molecules, OH groups, and H atoms are generated by the...
