Contact ageing is a fundamental aspect to understand dynamic sliding scenarios with alternating phases of halting and sliding. On the nanoscale, recent experiments showed, that ageing effects can be connected to the formation of interfacial bonds. In this work, we now analyze the temperature dependent bond formation dynamics of silica contacts by measuring the pre-rupture contact stiffness. Using this parameter instead of the seemingly more obvious choice of measuring static friction, we can eliminate all effects related to temperature dependent contact rupture. Our results show logarithmic contact ageing at all temperatures and reveal that the ageing can be described by a temperature dependent slope α(T) ∝ T, which is a characteristic fingerprint of thermal activation, anticipated both by analytical calculations and MD-simulation of the bond formation process.
