...Ruiting Tong; Geng Liu; Tianxiang Liu Nanoscale sliding contacts are the major factors that influence the friction and result in wear in micro/nanoelectromechanical systems. Many experimental studies indicated that some surface textures could help improve the contact characteristics and reduce...

... and loading decreases in applications such as MEMS, NEMS and magnetic storage devices measurement of flash temperature becomes increasingly more difficult due to the nanometer scale asperity interactions. Consequently measurement of flash temperature at the nanoscale asperity contact has not yet been possible...
