This paper presents a tribological system that produces superlubricityunder boundary lubrication conditions with extremely little wear. Thissystem is a thin coating of Diamond-Like-Carbon in a DEC friction pairlubricated with OH-containing additives. The DLC material ishydrogen-free tetrahedrally amorphous DLC (denoted as ta-C).To identify the mechanism of friction vanishing we performed ToF-SIMSexperiments on the wear scars obtained with deuterated glycerol andC-13 glycerol. The structural modifications of the ta-C coating thathave been induced by the pressure and shear during the friction werealso studied.
