Abstract

Stick-slip motion has been a subject of active research related to a broad range of phenomena from friction in nanoscale liquid films [1, 2] to geophysics and earthquake faults [3]. In recent experiments on friction, in particular on confined molecular systems under shear, it has been observed [1, 2, 4–6] that stick-slip behavior is followed by other frictional phases: first by intermittent stick-slip and then, as the shear rate increases, by sliding. Different models have been proposed to account for this type of motion including spring-block models [3] and chain or layer motion on a substrate [7, 8]. The different phases have been also seen in molecular dynamical simulations [9–11]. However, the microscopic origin of stick-slip dynamics is still not well understood.
