Abstract

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to calculate the interfacial energy between zinc oxide (ZnO) and graphitic carbon for the study of solid–solid adhesion. The MD model consists of a ZnO slab and a single layer of graphitic carbon. The calculation was validated experimentally by atomic force microscopy (AFM) liftoff. A polishing process was applied to create a tip with a flat surface that was subsequently coated with a ZnO film allowing force displacement measurement on Highly Oriented Pyrolitic Graphite to validate the simulations. The MD simulation and AFM lift-off show good agreement with adhesive energies of 0.303 J/m2 and 0.261 ± 0.054 J/m2, respectively.
