Summary :

Contact recording systems have been studied for future magnetic recording disks with a high recording density. Tribological key technologies for ultra-low spacing and high wear performance are required for the contact systems. Particularly, a liquid lubrication system plays an important roll for reducing a mechanical spacing and improving wear performances. However, a lubrication design concept for contact recording systems is not established. In this study, molecular design of lubricants for contact systems will be discussed from a viewpoint of bouncing and wear behaviors. As a result, a minimum bouncing height of 3 nm and a high wear performance were obtained for ion-etched contact sliders by the optimization of design parameters, i. e. pad design and lubricant material.
