One form of Tribo-emission is that of X-rays. It has been observed that X-rays are emitted when Scotch Tape is rapidly peeled.
Another form of tribo-emission is that of electrons being generated by frictional contact.
Researchers have placed a diamond tipped stylus on a circular oxidized aluminum sample plate and rotated it. A phosphor coated (fluorescent) screen is placed above it to detect electron emission.
The diamond tip is 100 um in diameter, and the plate is rotated at 44 m/s under a load of 0.4N.
They found that electrons are emitted from the channel when scratched by the stylus.
In terms of a detection tool, what might tribo-electron emission be used?
