Dependency of the structure of a water layer sandwiched by silicon carbide on shear speed and temperature
TLDR
Using molecular dynamics based on Lennard-Jones field, the structure of a water film contained within two silicon carbide walls was analyzed, and it was found that layers of water appear and change depending on the distance between the two walls.
