dc.descriptionSimulations of the kinetic friction due to a layer of adsorbed molecules between two crystalline surfaces are presented. The adsorbed layer naturally produces friction that is consistent with Amontons' laws and insensitive to parameters that are not controlled in experiments. The kinetic friction rises logarithmically with velocity as in many experimental systems. Variations with potential parameters and temperature follow variations in the static friction. This correlation is understood through analogy with the Tomlinson model and the trends are explained with a hard-sphere picture.
