We studied sonolubricity, a phenomenon reducing friction between two sliding surfaces by ultrasound. Friction force measurements were performed in an atomic force microscope (AFM) when the tip-surface contact was excited to out-of-plane oscillations oscillations by a transducer or the built-in piezoelectric element in the cantilever holder.

Experiments were carried out near or at the first cantilever contact-resonance. We studied friction on crystalline and amorphous Pd77.5Cu6Si16.5 ribbons, on a silicon wafer at room temperature, and on a La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 thin film at different temperatures. Measurements were carried out varying the cantilever amplitude, the ultrasonic frequency, and the normal static load.

All experimental results display a universal behavior, which can be explained by the non-linearity of the force-distance curve between sample and tip due to the local interaction potential. An analytic function is found, which describes the reduction of friction as a function of the cantilever amplitude.

We would like to thank the DFG for funding CRC 1073 Project A1. Chengfu Ma gratefully acknowledges the China Scholarship Council for support.
