Single molecule nanotribology: understanding friction and adhesion at a single molecule level

Data presented in the annual conference SAOG2019 (Surface Science and Thin Films Community of Switzerland 2019). Here we discuss the effect of molecular vibrations on its friction properties. This is intended to provide an overview of the results published in the following peer-reviewed freely available papers: Nature Communications 10, 685 (2019). [DOI:10.1038/s41467-019-08531-4 ] Nano Lett. 20, 652 (2020). [DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b04418] (Please cite them, if you found this information useful.)
