Overview
Dynamics and Friction in Sub-Micrometer Confining Systems emphasizes recent advancements in understanding and implementing dynamical properties at the sub-micron scales such as re-distribution and release of energy at the nano-scale due to confinement, and frictional dynamics and control at the atomic scale.
Synopsis
Contributions to an April 2002 symposium are collected here to provide a review of frictional dynamics at the nanoscale and of fluid behavior under confinement. They discuss some of the most recent advances in understanding and controlling dynamical properties of materials at submicrometer scales. Some of the key areas addressed are the redistribution and release of energy at the nanoscale due to confinement, frictional dynamics and properties under confinement, and control of frictional properties at the nanoscale level. The primary topic throughout is the question of how nearby surfaces of ultra-small geometries can force a system to behave in different ways. The book is distributed in the US by Oxford University Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
