Abstract
In this paper we present the results of nanoindentation hardness measu rements, nano-wear measurements as well as tribochemical wear tests on a series of hydrogenated and nitrogenated carbon films. It is shown t hat the mechanical properties, such as hardness and abrasive wear resi stance, while important, are not the primary determining factors in th e wear durability of the head disk interface in magnetic hard disk dri ves.
