摘要:
A data storage device comprising a storage medium having a recordable surface, a transducing head having a bearing surface positioned adjacent to the recordable surface of the storage medium, and at least one compound disposed between the recordable surface and the bearing surface, the at least one compound comprising at least one functional group that imparts corrosion resistance and at least one functional group that imparts lubricating properties.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium including a solid lubricant film containing a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited perfluoropolyether is disclosed. Preferably, the solid lubricant is formed in the presence of oxygen and longer fluorocarbon chain to form perfluoropolyether, thereby enhancing the chain flexibility perfluoropolyether and in the presence of a hydrocarbon to stabilize the process, thereby allowing process control.
摘要:
A magnetic data storage medium may include a substrate, a magnetic recording layer, a protective carbon overcoat, and a monolayer covalently bound to carbon atoms adjacent a surface of the protective carbon overcoat. According to this aspect of the disclosure, the monolayer comprises at least one of hydrogen, fluorine, nitrogen, oxygen, and a fluoro-organic molecule. In some embodiments, a surface of a read and recording head may also include a monolayer covalently bound to carbon atoms of a protective carbon overcoat.
