Electric-field frictional effects in confined zwitterionic molecules

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: We theoretically explore the effect of a transverse electric field on the frictional response of a bi-layer of packed zwitterionic molecules, leading, via their dipole-moment reorientation, either to stick-slip or smooth sliding dynamics.
