Abstract
Gases sampled directly from the sliding interface of a carbon-coated t hin-film magnetic recording disk and a conventional read/write head sh ow that carbon dioxide is generated during sliding in both dry-nitroge n and dry-oxygen environments. The generation rate is approximately te n times greater when sliding in oxygen rather than nitrogen. A novel p ressure interface and sampling system was developed for the experiment s.
