Abstract
The chemical properties of a surface determine the friction and wear behavior of a material during sliding. In this article, we study the mechanisms underlying the sliding behavior of the AgTaO 3 perovskite material, a promising high-temperature solid lubricant that presents excellent friction properties and is chemically inert. In particular, by employing a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and density-functional theory calculations, we show that the low friction of AgTaO 3 at high temperature is explained by silver aggregation on the surface, which is enabled by the low energy barriers associated with silver migration. Two different surface terminations (AgO and TaO 2 ) are studied, and we show that the migration barrier on the AgO surface is smaller, favoring silver aggregation, which affects both friction and wear. Regardless of the termination, the formation of soft silver clusters dominates the sliding behavior when enough energy (mechanical or thermal) is imparted to the surface.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
