Abstract

With the help of a two-dimensional (2D) model we study rolling lubrication by circular(‘2D fullerenes’) molecules for a wide range of parameters. The conditions under whichmicroscopic rolling friction may be effective are identified and related to the relativeingraining between substrate and molecule, the latter behaving as a nanosized cogwheel.
