Friction and wear phenomena are governed by processes at the interface of sliding surfaces. For a detailed understanding of these phenomena many surface sensitive techniques have become available in recent years. This book gives an overview of the basics and methods of state-of-the-art nanoscale analytical techniques for researchers and practitioners in the field of tribology. It provides guidance and shows examples of the application of mechanical, microstructural, chemical characterization methods and topography analysis of materials. The applied methods are atom probe tomography, TEM, SERS, NEXAFS, in-situ XPS, nanoindentation and in situ Raman spectroscopy. A survey of related numerical calculations completes the book. These include ab-initio and molecular dynamics coupling, numerical calculations for mechanical aspects and density functional theory to study chemical reactivity.

It provides an overview of the of state-of-the-art for researchers and practitioners in the field of tribology. It shows different examples to the application of mechanical, microstructural, chemical characterization methods and topography analysis of materials. Friction and Wear phenomena are governed by complexe processes at the interface of sliding surfaces. For a detailed understanding of these phenomena many surface sensitive techniques have become available in recent years. The applied methods are atom probe tomography, in situ TEM, SERS, NEXAFS, in situ XPS, nanoindentation and in situ Raman spectroscopy. A survey of new related numerical calculations completes this book. This concerns ab-initio coupling, numerical calculations for mechanical aspects and density functional theory (DFT) to study chemical reactivity. Presents nanoscale analytical techniques for tribological applications Gives a concise overview on the methods that are available today Contributing authors work on the forefront of tribological research
