The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.3 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.7 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00023 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.11 SJR: 0.244 SNIP: 0.521 CiteScore™:: 3.6 H-Index: 14

RESUMO

The quantum-mechanical approach (the density functional theory and the pseudopotential method) is used to study the friction in the aluminum–aluminum, aluminum–tungsten, and tungsten–tungsten nanopairs on the atomic level in the presence of external pressure. Nanopairs were constructed from crystalline nanoslabs and crystalline nanorods of rectangular cross section. The nanoslabs had infinite periodic structures in the X and Y directions; the nanorods were periodic in the Y direction. The process of friction was studied by reducing a rod and a slab to an equilibrium contact with subsequent step-by-step shift of the rod relative to the slab along the X direction. The rod was located above the slab (in the Z direction). The total energy of the system was calculated on each step. The friction force was calculated as a ratio of the change in the total energy to the value of the rod shift step. The pressure force was applied to the rod in the Z direction. The coefficient of friction was calculated as a ratio of the friction force to the pressure force. Observation of the behavior of atoms showed that for all the nanopairs studied the process of friction is accompanied by the processes of deformation and destruction. Both components of a nanopair are subjected to deformation, whereas destruction is observed only in the nanorods. Aluminum rods are subject to the maximum deformations and destructions in both aluminum–aluminum and aluminum–tungsten pairs. The tungsten rods are not destroyed; deformations in them and in tungsten slabs are minimal. The friction coefficients in the aluminum–aluminum pairs decrease with increasing pressure, and they increase in the aluminum–tungsten and tungsten–tungsten pairs.
