The dynamic indentation characteristics of 1- and 2-mm-radius hemispherical glass sliders when colliding with stationary magnetic disks under various lubricant conditions were investigated to clarify the dynamic interfacial forces between flying head sliders and magnetic disks. The collision times were ~15 and ~30 μs, respectively, and independent of the impact velocity. For a 1-mm-radius slider (Ra roughness = 1.71 nm), a clear adhesion force nearly equal to the static pull-off force was observed at the instant of separation when the lubricant thickness was from 1 nm without UV (0.69 nm mobile lubricant thickness) to 3 nm with UV (1.89 nm mobile lubricant thickness). The dynamic adhesion force was maximum when the slider had separated from the disk surface by about 2 nm and dropped from the maximum to zero when the separation reached more than 5 nm. When the mobile lubricant thickness was 0.43 nm, a clear adhesion force was not observed. For a 2-mm-radius slider (Ra roughness = 0.34 nm), a clear adhesion force, similar to the static pull-off force, was observed at the instant of separation at almost all lubricant thicknesses and impact velocities tested except at a small mobile lubricant thickness of 0.43 nm with impact velocities greater than 1.1 mm/s. The dynamic adhesion force dropped from the maximum to zero when the distance traveled from the maximum reached more than 5 nm. These results suggest that the dynamic adhesion force of 1- and 2-mm-radius sliders originates from meniscus formation rather than van der Waals force.  相似文献

We have investigated the effect of the molecular weight (MW) and film thickness of a perfluoropolyether lubricant, Zdol, on the slider–disk spacing loss, or clearance. The major conclusion of this work is that Zdol films as thin as 10 Å can reduce the slider–disk clearance by 2 nm or more in the molecular weight range of 1000–5000 amu. This is attributed to the attractive van der Waals interaction between the slider and the disk surface that causes the Zdol main chain to interact with the slider surface, giving rise to a friction force. When the film thickness of the lubricant exceeds the monolayer thickness, dewetting can take place. The droplets that form occupy the space between the slider and disk surface reducing the slider–disk clearance by as much as 4 nm. There is a step increase in the acoustic emission signal at the dewetting thickness transition, indicative of a slider–disk interference.  相似文献

The pure squeeze thin film elastohydrodynamic lubrication motion of circular contacts with effects of surface forces and surface roughness taken into account is explored under constant load conditions. The coupled transient stochastic Reynolds, elasticity deformation, the load balance, surface forces (hydrodynamic, solvation and van der Waals pressure) and lubricant rheology equations were solved simultaneously by using the finite difference method and the Gauss–Seidel iteration method. The simulation results reveal that the differences between radial type roughness and circular type roughness problems are apparent as the film thickness is thinner than 5 nm. The oscillation phenomena in pressure and film thickness come mainly from the action of solvation forces. The effects of surface forces become significant as the film thickness becomes thinner. The film thickness with circular type roughness is thicker than that with radial type roughness. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

This paper describes the effects of ultra-thin liquid lubricant films on contact slider dynamics in hard-disk drives. In the experiments, the contact slider dynamics as well as ultra-thin liquid lubricants behavior are investigated using three types of lubricants, which have different end-groups and molecular weight as a function of lubricant film thickness. The dynamics of a contact slider is mainly monitored using acoustic emission (AE). The disks are also examined with a scanning micro-ellipsometer before and after contact slider experiments. It is found that the lubricant film thickness instability occurs as a result of slider–disk contacts, when the lubricant film thickness is thicker than one monolayer. Their unstable lubricant behavior depends on the chemical structure of functional end-groups and molecular weight. In addition, it is also found that the AE RMS values, which indicate the contact slider dynamics, are almost same, independent of the end-groups and molecular weight for the lubricants, when the lubricant film thickness is approximately one monolayer. The molecular weight, however, affects the contact slider dynamics, when the lubricant film thickness is less than one monolayer. In other words, the AE RMS values increase remarkably as the molecular weight for the lubricant increases. When the lubricant film thickness is more than one monolayer, the AE RMS values decrease because of the effect of mobile lubricant layer, while the lubricant instability affects the contact slider dynamics. Therefore, it may be concluded that the lubricant film thickness should be designed to be approximately one monolayer thickness region in order to achieve contact recording for future head–disk interface.  相似文献

The evaluation of submonolayer lubricant mobility is becoming important in the field of nanotribology, in particular, in hard disk drives for realizing the near-contact or surfing–recording. This paper experimentally and theoretically investigates the replenishment speed of a depleted scar in a submonolayer lubricant caused by the head–disk contact. The theoretical analysis is based on continuum mechanics. The replenishment process of a submonolayer lubricant height profiles in a depleted scar caused by the head touchdown operation was experimentally measured for the Z-tetraol lubricant with a 0.24 nm mobile lubricant thickness and compared with the numerical simulation. It was found that the analytical replenishment process can fairly agree with the experimental one if the ratio of Hamaker constant to effective lubricant viscosity is properly determined. By using the validated basic equation, a simple but useful generalized formula is proposed to evaluate the replenishment speed in relation to the depleted scar width of the mobile lubricant, the lubricant thickness, and the ratio of Hamaker constant to effective lubricant viscosity.  相似文献

We have investigated the effect of film thickness of a perfluoropolyether lubricant, Zdol 4000, on slider-disk spacing, or clearance. The major conclusion of this work is that the Zdol lubricant impacts the slider-disk spacing. A decrease in the film thickness of Zdol 4000 by 10Å results in an increase in the effective slider-disk spacing by 1 nm. The effect of end groups on slider-disk spacing is also investigated using the Zdol-TX and Z-Tetraol perfluoropolyether lubricants. At similar molecular weights and film thicknesses, the end groups do not affect the slider-disk spacing by causing any additional interference. The slider-disk interference is therefore attributed to the attractive van der Waals interaction between the slider and the disk surface that causes the Zdol main chain to interact with the slider surface, giving rise to a friction force.  相似文献

One of the challenges in heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is the creation of write-induced head contamination at the near-field transducer. A possible mechanism for the formation of this contamination is the transfer of lubricant from the disk to the slider (lubricant pickup) due to temperature-driven evaporation/condensation and/or mechanical interactions. Here we develop a continuum model that predicts the head-to-disk lubricant transfer during HAMR writing. The model simultaneously determines the thermocapillary shear stress-driven deformation and evaporation of the lubricant film on the disk, the convection and diffusion of the vapor phase lubricant in the air bearing and the evolution of the condensed lubricant film on the slider. The model also considers molecular interactions between disk–lubricant, slider–lubricant and lubricant–lubricant in terms of disjoining pressure. We investigate the effect of media temperature, head temperature and initial lubricant thickness on the lubricant transfer process. We find that the transfer mechanism is initially largely thermally driven. The rate of slider lubricant accumulation can be significantly reduced by decreasing the media temperature. However, as the amount of lubricant accumulation increases with time, a change in the transfer mechanism occurs from thermally driven to molecular interactions driven. A similar change in transfer mechanism is predicted as the head–disk spacing is reduced. There exists a critical value of head lubricant thickness and a critical head–disk spacing at which dewetting of the disk lubricant begins, leading to enhanced pickup.  相似文献

When the magnetic spacing in hard disk drives is reduced to sub-3 nm, contact between the slider and disk becomes inevitable. Stability analysis is used in this study to investigate the head–disk interface (HDI) stability of thermal fly-height control (TFC) sliders in light contact with the disk lubricant or solid roughness. We implement an improved DMT model with sub-boundary lubrication into the CML air bearing program and analyze the stability of equilibrium states of a TFC slider under different thermal actuations. It is found that stability is lost when the slider penetrates deeper into the lubricant layer, due to a fast growth in the adhesion force, and it is restored when the solid roughness contact develops. In addition, the critical point for the onset of this instability and the range of this instability region is found to vary with lubricant thickness and protrusion surface steepness, while keeping the air bearing design the same.  相似文献

In this article, we explore the physical mechanisms for lubricant migration on recording head slider surfaces and how this migration leads to increased slider–disk spacing during disk drive operations. This is done using both a new experimental methodology, called the “droplet stress test,” and through simulation. In our simulations, we compare the air shear-induced lubricant migration modeled either as viscous flow of a continuum liquid film with zero slip or as wind driven slippage of molecules across the surface. The experimental data are best fitted using the viscous flow model to determine an effective viscosity for the sub-nanometer thick lubricant films. This effective viscosity tends to be somewhat less than the lubricant bulk viscosity due to air shear promoting the slippage of lubricant molecules across the surface. Our experimental results also indicate that the potential spacing increase from the pickup of disk lubricant on the slider is limited by the mobile fraction of the dewetting thickness of the lubricant film on the slider.  相似文献

A model for lubricant transfer from a rotating magnetic recording disk to a magnetic recording slider is developed using molecular dynamics simulation. The combined effect of disk velocity and local air-bearing pressure changes on lubricant transfer is investigated. The simulation results indicate that local pressure changes in the absence of disk circumferential velocity can cause lubricant redistribution on the disk, while local pressure changes on a moving disk can result in lubricant transfer from the disk to the slider. The amount of lubricant transferred from the disk to the slider and the lubricant buildup on the disk are a function of the local pressure change and disk velocity. The amount of lubricant transferred from the disk to the slider and the height of lubricant buildup on the disk surface decrease with an increase in the number of functional groups of the disk, a decrease in the local pressure change, and a decrease in the disk circumferential velocity.  相似文献

The relationship between slider and lubricant becomes increasingly important as the mechanical spacing between slider and disk is reduced to satisfy the demand for higher areal density. At a reduced flying height, the slider easily contacts the lubricant, which can cause slider instability. This study analyzed slider dynamics to improve the head–disk reliability in the unsteady proximity condition, considering bias voltages between the slider, disk, and lubricant. Force–distance curves were measured using atomic force microscopy to investigate changes in lubricant performance induced by an applied voltage. Additionally, the touch-down power and take-off power were measured under various applied voltage conditions. Experiments were carried out to estimate slider instability as a function of charged disk and slider conditions, to improve the slider dynamics in the unsteady proximity condition. The effect of the bias voltage induced by a voltage applied to the lubricant was carefully examined to accurately understand slider dynamics. The relationship between the lubricant behavior and the applied voltage was investigated; the voltage applied to the disk was more influential in improving slider dynamics. Consequently, the effects of bias voltage and lubricant, as induced by a charged disk, should be considered when analyzing slider dynamics to improve head–disk interface reliability in an unsteady proximity condition.  相似文献

Slider/disk contacts of nano and pico sliders are investigated using an acoustic emission sensor and a high bandwidth laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). The following cases are studied: (a) influence of scratch impact on the airbearing stiffness; (b) influence of lubricant thickness on slider dynamics for single bump impacts; (c) influence of lubricant thickness on slider vertical stick–slip vibrations; (d) dynamics of take-off and landing. Linear time frequency analysis is applied to study simultaneously the impact response of the airbearing and the slider torsional and bending modes. The contact dynamics of single bump impacts is examined as a function of disk velocity and lubricant thickness. Increased slider vibrations are found for thick lubricant films both for sliding contacts as well as for single bump impacts. During the transition from sliding to flying a change of the bending mode frequency is observed.  相似文献

To achieve 1 Tb/in.2 magnetic recording areal density, the head/disk spacing, or the flying height of the slider, has become so small that both the disk surface roughness and the slider air-bearing surface roughness need to be considered. In this region, the intermolecular force and the contact force become more significant due to the roughness of the two surfaces. This article targets two points: 1) slider/disk roughness effects on intermolecular force and 2) slider/disk roughness requirement for 1 Tb/in.2 areal density. A probability model is built to simulate the intermolecular force and the contact force, and these two forces are introduced into the modified compressible Reynolds equation governing the air-bearing pressure of the slider. The equation is solved by the finite volume method based on an unstructured triangle-based mesh. The simulation results show that in 1 Tb/in.2 areal density magnetic recording the effects of slider/disk roughness on the intermolecular force are negligible. Smaller R a values will have fewer effects on flying performance.  相似文献

Lubricant pick-up by a low-flying slider is investigated for hydroxyl-terminated perfluoropolyethers as a function of the number of hydroxyl (OH) groups and of film thickness on the surface of finished rigid disks. The total number of hydroxyl (OH) groups per main chain is 2, 4, and 8 for Zdol, Z-Tetraol, and ZTMD, respectively. The amount of disk lubricant that is picked up by the low-flying slider decreases with decreasing PFPE film thickness and increasing number of OH functional groups. The results are discussed in terms of the disjoining pressure characterizing the lubricant film on the disk surface.  相似文献

The shock response of a pico-type magnetic recording slider in different helium–air gas mixtures is investigated numerically. A finite element-based air bearing simulator and a slider/disk contact model including van der Waals and friction forces are coupled to determine the contact characteristics between slider and disk. The minimum flying height and the maximum contact force are studied as a function of helium percentage and disk velocity. The results show that the dynamic performance of the slider is not affected substantially as long as the helium percentage is <50 % but is increasingly more affected if the helium percentage becomes larger than 50 %.  相似文献

The Greenwood and Williamson theory of random rough surfaces in contact has been combined with established elastohydrodynamic theory to provide a theoretical approach to highly loaded lubricated contacts in which the load is shared between hydrodynamic pressure and asperity contact. It is shown that, provided a major part of the load is carried by elastohydrodynamic action, the separation between the two rough surfaces is given (to a first approximation) by the film thickness which would exist between two smooth surfaces under the same conditions of load, speed and lubricant. It then follows that the asperity pressure, both real and apparent, is determined primarily by the ratio of theoretical film thickness to the combined roughness of the two surfaces (ho/σ). A corollary of this result is that an increase in total load, which has only a small influence on the film thickness, is carried by an increase in fluid pressure and only gives rise to a small increase in asperity contact pressure.  相似文献

This paper presents wear and friction studies on ultra-thin (~2 nm) film of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) coated on glass substrate magnetic hard disks. The lubricant was coated on the disk by the dip-coating method and the tribological tests were carried out by sliding a 3 mm diameter glass ball slider (normal load=20 mN) on the rotating disk surface. Lube thickness and lube wear profile were measured using an ellipsometer whereas the worn disk surface was studied using a surface reflectivity analyzer. The sliding speed and the lube bonding conditions were varied during the test. From the results, it is concluded that about 80% bonding of the lube to the disk surface leads to an increase in the wear durability of the lubricant by a factor of 2 when compared to the as-lubed condition. Lube bonding has an effect on increasing the coefficient of friction. Initially, increasing sliding speed increases both friction and wear but for very high sliding speed these values tend to decrease. The glass ball surface showed wear due to asperity interactions as well as lube transfer from the disk to the glass surface.  相似文献

The film-forming properties of lubricant base fluid mixtures in elastohydrodynamic contacts have been studied using ultrathin film interferometry. It has been shown that in binary mixtures where one of the components is more polar than the other, the EHD film thickness formed in the very thin film (< 10 nm region) is controlled by the viscosity of the polar component rather than the viscosity of the blend. This means that a mixture of a highly viscous ester in less viscous hydrocarbon gives thicker than predicted lubricant films in the sub 20 nm region and vice versa. This phenomenon can be ascribed to the fractionation of the lubricant mixtures close to the surface caused by lubricant molecule/surface van der Waals forces.  相似文献

In this paper, we describe the behavior of ultrathin liquid lubricant films for contact sliders in hard disk drives. In the experiments, the ultrathin liquid lubricant film behavior is investigated using Zdol and cyclotriphosphazene-terminated PFPE lubricant which have different end groups as a function of lubricant film thickness. The disks are examined with a scanning microellipsometer before and after contact slider experiments. It is found that the lubricant film thickness profiles almost do not change, when the lubricant film thickness is less than one monolayer. It can also be observed that lubricant film thickness instability due to dewetting occurs as a result of slider-disk contacts for the tested lubricants and the films undergo spontaneous redistributions, resulting in significantly nonuniform film thickness profiles, when the lubricant film thickness is thicker than one monolayer. In addition, it is found that the observed behavior of ultrathin liquid lubricant films for cyclotriphosphazine-terminated PFPE lubricant contrasts markedly with that for Zdol. The difference between cyclotriphosphazene-terminated PFPE lubricant and Zdol is only the functional end group. Therefore, it may be concluded that their unstable lubricant behavior depends on the chemical structure of functional end groups.  相似文献
