    • 2016, A. A. Kyasov, G. V. Dedkov, “Rotating Particle in the Near Field of the Surface at Arbitrary Direction of Angular Velocity Vector”, in arXiv[1]:
      It is shown that during most time of motion the particle slows down provided that a quasiequilibrium thermal state has been reached, while at any initial direction of the angular velocity vector it tends to orient perpendicular to the surface with spin direction depending on the initial conditions.
