摘要:
A method of increasing the performance of a composite lubricant material when utilized as a thin film lubricant, comprising: (a) providing a substrate including a surface; (b) providing a composite lubricant comprising a mixture of at least one perfluoropolyether compound and at least one phosphite or phosphate compound; (c) applying a thin layer of the composite lubricant to the substrate surface; and (d) treating the thin layer of composite lubricant with UV radiation at a dosage and for an interval sufficient to reduce the surface tension, increase the corrosion resistance, increase the durability and reduce the stiction/friction of the thin layer of composite lubricant.

Embodiments relate to lubricants disposed over magnetic storage media, such as rotatable thin film magnetic discs. One embodiment comprises a lubricant compound of a fluoropolyether chain having one or more carbonyl-imide pairs. For example, the carbonyl-imide pair may be located at one end, both ends, and/or in the middle of the fluoropolyether chain.

摘要:
High areal recording density, magnetic hard disk recording media including CSS landing zones with laser-textured surfaces having shallow bump heights of from about 40 to about 80 Å, bump spacing in the circumferential and radial directions of from about 10 to about 30 &mgr;m, and bump diameter of from about 4 to about 8 &mgr;m, are provided for use in disk drive systems utilizing padded head sliders operating at very low head slider flying heights of about 0.7&mgr; inch or below.
摘要:
A system and method for improving the durability and reliability of recording media used in hard drives is disclosed. A protective overcoat made by depositing a diamond like carbon (DLC) layer over a magnetic layer and then depleting a portion of the DLC protective layer of hydrogen before it is coated with a Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) using an in-situ vapor lubrication technique. The portion of the DLC layer which is depleted can be data zone of the media so that the lubricant-bonding ratio is higher for the landing zone than it is for the data zone.
