<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prediction support device and the like, which calculate an index value for determining whether low friction characteristics are exhibited so as to support prediction of element-added DLC exhibiting low-friction characteristics. <P>SOLUTION: A prediction support device 1 performs: inputting a specified DLC surface model, additive element, additive amount, and a molecule absorbed on a surface (step S1); performing an electronic state calculation, on the basis of a predetermined calculation condition, for a state in which the input additive element is introduced into a part of the input DLC surface model, to determine the initial structure of element-added DLC (step S2); and calculating an index value for determining whether low friction characteristics are exhibited on the basis of the determined initial structure of the element-added DLC (step S3), where the index value is, for example, a difference (a first index value) between energy in a final state and energy in an initial state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
