Nanotribology and Nanomechanics

The recent emergence and proliferation of proximal probes and computational techniques for simulating tip-surface interactions has led to the appearance of the new, interdisciplinary fields of micro/nanotribology and micro/nanomechanics. This volume serves as a timely, practical introduction to the principles of these two new fields and applications to magnetic storage systems and MEMS/NEMS. The b...
