Comparative analysis of frictional behavior and mechanism of molybdenum ditelluride with different structures

Figure 3 from “Comparative analysis of frictional behavior and mechanism of molybdenum ditelluride with different structures” by Lina Zhang et al.: Atomic-scale friction maps of MoTe 2. (a) Mapping of friction signal of 1T′-MoTe 2. (b) Reciprocal lattice obtained by 2D FFT on (a). (c) Atomic-level stick–slip map obtained by FFT filtering of (a). (d) Unit cell structure of 1T′-MoTe 2. (e) Friction profile extracted along the blue dashed line in (c). (f) Mapping of friction signal of 2H-MoTe 2 . (g) Reciprocal lattice obtained by 2D FFT on (f). (h) Atomic-level stick–slip map obtained by FFT filtering of (f). (i) Unit cell structure of 2H-MoTe2. (j) Friction profile extracted along the blue dashed line in (h). NANOSENSORS PointProbe Plus PPP-LFMR AFM probes were used.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have layered structures with excellent tribological properties. * Since the energy difference between hexagonal-molybdenum ditelluride (2H-MoTe2) and distorted octahedral-molybdenum… Read More »Comparative analysis of frictional behavior and mechanism of molybdenum ditelluride with different structures

Signal Origin of Electrochemical Strain Microscopy and Link to Local Chemical Distribution in Solid State Electrolytes

Figure 1 from Nino Schön et al. «Signal Origin of Electrochemical Strain Microscopy and Link to Local Chemical Distribution in Solid State Electrolytes”: a) Topography, b) deflection error, and c) corresponding cantilever deflection change (Dac) map of a 30 µm × 30 µm area of LATP. d) Noncontact EFM amplitude map in the same area. NANOSENSORS conductive platinum-iridium coated PointProbe Plus PPP-EFM AFM probes were used.

Solid state electrolytes (SSEs) are interesting materials that could potentially replace the currently used organic electrolytes in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). * Electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM),… Read More »Signal Origin of Electrochemical Strain Microscopy and Link to Local Chemical Distribution in Solid State Electrolytes
