Friction| Friction |
In General > s.a. Stokes' Law.
* Idea: The force resisting relative
motion between solid surfaces or fluid layers sliding against each other.
* History: In the 1700s,
Amontons and Coulomb found that the force needed to push an object across
a surface depends on its mass, but not on the area of the contact surface
(a relationship embodied in the first of Guillaume Amontons's two laws of
friction); Microscopic 'asperities' on the surfaces have traditionally been
blamed for this; In fact, lateral friction or retention force is proportional to
the true contact area; In 2001, Gerde & Marder proposed a 'micro-crack' theory.
* Question: What are
the relative contributions of electrons and phonons to friction?

Quantum Friction
* Idea: There are claims
that electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations give rise to a Casimir-like non-contact
"quantum friction" between moving plates, whose magnitude is proportional
to the particle's velocity, but the claims have been disputed by other authors.
