Abstract:Temperature is one of the governing factors affecting friction of solids. Undesired high friction state has been generally reported at cryogenic temperatures due to the prohibition of thermally activated processes, following conventional Arrhenius equation. This has brought huge difficulties to lubrication at extremely low temperatures in industry. Here, the study uncovers a hydrogen‐correlated sub‐Arrhenius friction behavior in hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a‐C:H) film at cryogenic temperatures, and a stable… Show more
