Handbook of Micro/Nano Tribology - Paperback / softback

This second edition of Handbook of Micro/Nanotribology addresses the rapid evolution within this field, serving as a reference for the novice and the expert alike. Two parts divide this handbook: Part I covers basic studies, and Part II addresses design, construction, and applications to magnetic storage devices and MEMSDiscussions include:surface physics and methods for physically and chemically characterizing solid surface roughness characterization and static contact models using fractal analysi sliding at the interface and friction on an atomic scal scratching and wear as a result of slidin nanofabrication/nanomachining as well as nano/picoindentatio lubricants for minimizing friction and wea surface forces and microrheology of thin liquid film measurement of nanomechanical properties of surfaces and thin film atomic-scale simulations of interfacial phenomen micro/nanotribology and micro/nanomechanics of magnetic storage deviceThis comprehensive book contains 16 chapters contributed by more than 20 international researchers. In each chapter, the presentation starts with macroconcepts and then lead to microconcepts. With more than 500 illustrations and 50 tables, Handbook of Micro/Nanotribology covers the range of relevant topics, including characterization of solid surfaces, measurement techniques and applications, and theoretical modeling of interfaces
