Primes¶
- Damping
- and microscopic damping (atomic friction, molecular viscosity)
This sourcePioneering atomic-scale picture of friction (atoms dragged over potential-energy barriers), precursor to the Prandtl–Tomlinson model and modern tribology. Detail fix: author initials are G. A. Tomlinson (National Physical Laboratory), not 'Geoffrey William' as in the bib def.

This sourceProposes a microscopic picture of friction as the dragging of atoms and molecules over potential-energy barriers; early attempt to connect macroscopic friction to molecular-scale mechanisms; precursor to modern tribology and microscopic damping theory.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
