There are many different ways that you the user can contribute to AFRESH:

  • You can add references for papers that you feel are important for atomic-scale friction research.
  • You can add detailed information about experiments that you have done and wish to share with others in addition to what has been published in journals.
    • You have the ability to include images and video files of your experiments or computer simulations to enhance visualization of your research.
  • You can post possible job opportunities that people might be interested in ranging anywhere from Undergraduate Research to Faculty positions.
  • You can provide various educational tools including applets and matlab codes and other materials such as simple demonstrations that can be used in schools as a way to stimulate interest in tribological research.
  • You can post events and important deadlines that other users might be interested in.


Detailed processes have been provided below for the more technical methods by which you can contribute to AFRESH.

Help on using the site can be found at the AFRESH Help Page.

Remember, AFRESH is a home where users can come together with the common interest of expanding the field of atomic-scale friction.

Templates for Building Pages

There are several templates available at AFRESH that will ensure that users can continue to contribute any content they wish while maintaining a consistent and professional site for the atomic-scale friction community.

For more information on the templates available for your use, follow the Templates link.


AFRESH Bibliography

The AFRESH Bibliography is a compilation of pertinent journal articles provided by the AFRESH users. Articles can be uploaded to the AFRESH Bibliography by clicking on the following link: Upload Bibliography Article


Adding Citations within AFRESH

*Please note: We request that all references added to pages within AFRESH be added to the AFRESH Bibliography. Also, each of the references that you add should be internal links to the bibliography entry that you have created. Articles can be added to the AFRESH Bibliography by clicking on the following link: Upload Bibliography Article

Please use the following formatting when referencing/citing your information:

  • The link to the AFRESH Bibliography article that you have created should have this format:
    • [[Bibliography:Page Title | Author(s), Reference Title, Source Title Volume # (Issue #): Page #'s Publication Year]]
      • "Page Title" is the title of the page within AFRESH for the bibliography article that you added.
  • An example of the proper reference format for AFRESH is given below: 
[[Bibliography:Zhao2007TAF | Zhao XY, Hamilton M, Sawyer WG, Perry SS, Thermally activated friction, Tribology Letters 27 (1): 113-117 2007]]
  • The above link example will appear like this:

Zhao XY, Hamilton M, Sawyer WG, Perry SS, Thermally activated friction, Tribology Letters 27 (1): 113-117 2007

  • In order to cite the information that you are references, please bracket and numerically mark the citation → [1]


The process of chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), which is a subject of intense interest in electronics manufacturing, involves the flow of a slurry of particles [1-3] to attain a high degree of planarity on silicon wafers.

Video and Image Uploading

Uploading an Image

The easiest way to insert an image within an article is by clicking on the toolbar button that resembles a portrait → Image:Picture_image.png

  • The button will give the following format: 
[[Image:Example.jpg]]
  • Example.jpg will be the source of the file that you upload to the wiki by clicking on the Upload file link on the left side of the page

Uploading a Video

There are 2 ways to insert a video into an AFRESH article:

1. Inserting a Downloadable Video File:
  • The easiest way to accomplish this is by clicking on the media file toolbar button → Image:Media.png
    • The button will provide the following format: 
[[Media:Example.ogg | Insert name to call video]]
  • Example.ogg will be the source of the file that you upload to the wiki by clicking on the Upload file link on the left side of the page.
    • The following example will illustrate how the insertion of a downloadable video functions in an AFRESH article: 
[[Media:Bos_comp.avi | Compression of a Carbon Nanoonion]]


2. Inserting an Embedded Video File:
  • In order to insert an embedded video into an AFRESH article, you first need to upload a media file by clicking on the Upload file link on the left side of the page.
    • You should also upload an image that is representative of the video by clicking on the same link.
  • The method for inserting the embedded video is shown in this simple format: 
<localvideo width="# of pixels" height="# number of pixels" title="Insert name to call video" image="Example.jpg">Example.ogg</localvideo>
  • Example.jpg will be the source of the representative image file that you uploaded.
  • Example.ogg will be the source of the video file that you uploaded.
  • In addition, the embedded video allows you to specify the width and height in number of pixels for the video and image as well as the title that you wish to call the file that you have embedded.
    • The following example will illustrate how the embedded file functions in an AFRESH article: 
<localvideo width="504" height="478" title="Compression of a Carbon Nanoonion" image="Bos_comp.JPG">Bos_comp.avi</localvideo>

The format shown in the preview area above will look like this:

Compression of a Carbon Nanoonion


The following is an example that illustrates how such content may be incorporated: Tribology of PTFE films
