As a metal (gold) surface at a given, but variable potential slides past a dielectric (mica) surface at a fixed charge, across aqueous salt solutions, two distinct dissipation regimes may be identified. In regime I, when the gold potential is such that counterions are expelled from between the surfaces, which then come to adhesive contact, the frictional dissipation is high, with coefficient of friction μ ≈ 0.8-0.9. In regime II, when hydrated counterions are trapped between the compressed surfa ...[more]
