B. Knigge et al., TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL-EFFECTS OF NANO AND PICO SLIDERS ON LASER TEXTURED MEDIA, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(4), 1998, pp. 1732-1734
The tribological performance of nano and pico sliders on commercially
available laser textured media is investigated using contact start/sto
p testing, The acoustic emission signal and the stiction force are det
ermined for a number of typical slider/disk combinations, and the effe
ct of high humidity and elevated temperatures are studied.
