Zoom This thesis focuses on advancing the knowledge on fundamental structural and physicalchemical processes in the contact of relative moving surfaces using Raman spectroscopy. With this advancement, [...] a step towards monitoring wear and friction in real-time applications is performed. In this thesis, Raman scattering signatures are correlated with their spatial distribution at worn metallic surfaces [...] MoSx inter-layer spacing, strain-relaxation and a basal reorientation process are investigated. The thesis closes with a chapter on tribofilm formation in steel-steel contacts, where nano-sized hematite, …
