Abstract
Abstract In this work, the tribological behavior of ultrathin MoS 2 is investigated to understand the independent roles of water and oxidation. Water adsorption is identified as the primary interfacial mechanism for both SiO 2 /pristine‐MoS 2 and SiO 2 /graphene interfaces, however, tribological behavior of pristine‐MoS 2 is observed to be more sensitive to presence of water due to stronger MoS 2 –water interaction. Comparison of pristine‐MoS 2 and oxidized‐MoS 2 reveals that the oxidation of MoS 2 significantly increases its friction and sensitivity to water by playing a more detrimental role. The specific effect of oxygen on friction via chemical interactions is studied in isolation through density functional theory simulations of a tip sliding on MoS 2 basal planes and over edges before and after oxidation. The maximum change in energy, or energy barrier correlating with friction, as the tip moves across the surface, increases after oxidation by up to 66% for the basal plane and by 25% at the edge. Charge density analysis suggests that the more localized and nonuniform interfacial charge distribution on oxygen‐rich surfaces, as compared to pristine surfaces, leads to higher resistance to sliding. This confirms that oxygen presence alone increases friction and when coupled with the presence of water, both effects are additive in increasing friction.

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
