Inertlubricant perfluoropolyether (PFPE) on magnetic hard disk in computer is still prone to catalyticdecomposition by Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, which is one of the materials in slider. A partial fluorinated hexaphenoxycyclotriphosphazene chemical, X-1 P, was analyzed to research on its function to reduce the cata-lytic decomposition of lubricant. The surface free energy of X-1 P coated on head surface was alsoinvestigated. Contact start-stop (CSS) tester was employed to investigate the reflow effective ofX-1 P on lubricant PFPE. Results indicate that thermal stability and reflow of lubricant will be im-proved in the presence of X-1 P on the slider.展开更多

In this paper, media scratch and particles are characterized with AES,TOF-SIMS, SEM/EDX and LPC. The main causes resulted in serious media scratch have beenanalyzed and discussed.展开更多

FC722, a type ofpoly(fiuoroalkylmethacrylate) used as anti-wetting-agent (AWA) on the magnetic head, and its ef-fect on reducing lubricant depletion was study. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer(TOF-SIMS) was used to characterize the lubricant ZDOL and AWA. TOF-SIMS results suggestthat the lubricant depletion should be due to dynamic friction between the magnetic head and diskduring the head flying or seeking over the disk surface, the amount of lubricant picked up by thehead varying with the different flying height. The AWA coating layer on head obviously reduces theamount of lubricant picked-up. The possible molecular interaction mechanics of AWA and ZDOLwith DLC overcoat of the head was discussed.展开更多
