Abstract:The frictional properties of a sliding copper-copper interface exposed to dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) are measured in UHV under conditions at which the interfacial temperature rise is <1 K. A significant reduction in friction is found from the clean-surface values and sulfur is found on the surface and below the surface in the wear scar region by Auger spectroscopy. Because the interfacial temperature rise under the experimental conditions used to measure friction is very small, tribofilm formation is not thermally induced. The novel, low-temperature tribofilm formation observed here is ascribed to a shear-induced intermixing of the surface layer(s) with the subsurface region as suggested using previous molecular dynamics simulations. Although the tribofilm contains predominantly sulfur, a small amount of carbon is also found in the film.
