Inert lubricant perfluoropolyether (PFPE) on magnetic hard disk in computer is still prone to catalytic decomposition by Al_2O_3, which is one of the materials in slider. A partial fluorinated hexaphenoxy cyclotriphosphazene 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 also investigated. Contact start-stop (CSS) tester was employed to investigate the reflow effective of X-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

The three known pretenders appear to be stronger emitters than the presumed black holes of the ULX class, such as Holmberg II & IX X-1, IC10 X-1 and NGC 300 X-1. For these three NSs, we have adopted a single reasonable assumption, that their brightest observed outbursts unfold at the Eddington rate, and we have calculated both their propeller states and their surface magnetic-field magnitudes. We find that the results are not at all different from those recently obtained for the Magellanic Be/X-ray pulsars: the three NSs reveal modest magnetic fields of about 0.3-0.4TG and beamed propeller-line X-ray luminosities of 1036 - 1037 erg s-1, substantially below the Eddington limit.展开更多
