Combinatorial technology has much attention as the effective method for the development of novel functional materials. Also, the combinatorial technique have been used as one of the analysis methods in tribology research.

In this study, we were performed crystal structure analysis by combinatorial optimization of crystal orientation for tribology (COCOT) technique at the sliding surface of after the friction measurement (while changing the load continuously) of metal oxide thin film such as ZnO and Cr2O3.

As a result, it is a correlation in the crystal optimization of the sliding surface and the counter ball materials had an effect on the friction coefficient of the thin films.
