摘要:
An apparatus and metliod for heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) employing a near-field transducer (NFT) made of plasmonic ceramic materials or mtermetailics are disclosed. The NFT is made of a plasmonic material as well as a protective outer layer, which provides for longer usefulness and improved performance of the NFT and recording device. The plasmonic materials used include but are not limited to TiN xs , ZrN x , HfN x , TaN x , VN x , TiSi 2-x , TiAl x N y , TiZr x N y, ZnO, SnO 2 , In 2 O 3 . RuO 2 , Lu 2 O 3 , WO 2 , and MgB 2 . Such materials, in combination with a protective layer, provide higher resistances and greater performance at temperatures required for HAMR, ranging from 300 up to 500 degrees Celsius.
摘要:
The invention describes a new class of crystalline silica material having two levels or porosity and structural order. At the first level, building units are nanoslabs of uniform size having zeolite framework. At the second structural level, nanoslabs are assembled, e.g. linked through their corners, edges or faces following patterns imposed by interaction with cationic surfactant or triblock copolymer molecules. After evacuation of these molecules, microporosity is obtained inside the nanoslabs, and a precise mesoporosity between the nanoslabs depending on the tiling pattern of the zeolite nanoslabs, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction. These materials are useful for the fixation of biologically active species, such as poorly soluble drugs.

The present invention provides for amorphous, nanoporous, ceramic material having a surface area in excess of 70 m2/gm and characterized by a high content of open microporous cell structure wherein the micropores have a mean width of less than 20 Angstroms and wherein said microporous structure comprises a volume of greater than about 0.03 cm3/gm of the ceramic. The invention also provides a process for the preparation of such nanoporous ceramics wherein a ceramic precursor polymer or oligomer is gradually heated in the presence of an inert gas or vacuum up to a maximum temperature in the range of greater than 400 °C up to about 650 °C. Optionally, the process may also include a cross-linking step conducted prior to the heating step wherein the precursor polymer or oligomer is heated in the presence of a cross-linking agent capable of undergoing addition or substitution reactions with backbone atoms present in said precursor material, at an intermediate temperature of about 100° to 400 °C for a period of time sufficient to cross-link said precursor material, followed by pyrolysis of the cross-linked material.
