Temperature Activates Contact Aging in Silica Nanocontacts

Data presented in the CECAM workshop:  Emergence of surface and interface structure from friction, fracture and deformation ( link: cecam.org/index.php/workshop-details/215). 

Here we unravel the temperature dependence of both static friction and contact stiffness on a silica contact. Further in-depth details are provided in the associated peer-reviewed freely available publication (https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.9.041045).
