ABSTRACTThermal effects may affect the velocity dependence of friction on the nanoscale in different ways. In a dry environment the stick-slip motion of a nanotip sliding across a crystalline surface is modified by thermal vibrations, which leads to a logarithmic increase of friction with the sliding velocity at very low speeds (v < 10 μm/s). At higher speeds the role of thermal activation is negligible, and friction becomes velocity-independent. An analytical expression, which explains both regimes of friction vs. velocity, is introduced. In a humid environment the situation is complicated by water capillaries formed between tip and surface, which act as obstacles for thermally activated jumps. Depending on the wettability of the surface, different tendencies in the velocity dependence are observed.

We have investigated the solvent-dependence of structural changes along with intersystem crossing of a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule, 3,4,5-tri(9H-carbazole-9-yl)benzonitrile (o-3CzBN), in toluene, tetrahydrofuran, and acetonitrile solutions using time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy and DFT calculations. We found that the geometries of the S1 and T1 states are very similar in all solvents though the photophysical properties mostly depend on the solvent. In addition, the time-dependent DFT calculations based on these geometries suggested that the thermally activated delayed fluorescence process of o-3CzBN is governed more by the higher-lying excited states than by the structural changes in the excited states.<br>
