Ultrahigh vacuum studies of the boundary lubrication of metals

A novel ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) tribometer was used to study the tribological behavior of two Cu(111) surfaces modified by the adsorption of various atomic (sulfur, chlorine, iodine) and molecular (ethanol, trifluoroethanol, butanol, and heptafluorobutanol) species as a function of coverage. The friction behavior of clean Cu(111) surfaces was characterized by stick-slip sliding behavior and high static friction coefficients.
