Oxygen-Participated Interfacial Behaviors and Bonding Mechanisms of Amorphous Carbon Films in Friction by First-Principles and Molecular Dynamics.

Amorphous carbon (a-C) has gained extensive applications due to its superlubricity characteristics. In practical applications, oxygen is inevitably introduced into the sliding interface which undergoes complex interfacial reactions, leading to distin…
