Abstract
Ultra-thin nitrogenated carbon overcoats have attractive tribological properties that make them favourable for protective coatings for rigid magnetic disks. In this study the influence of the overcoat nitrogen content and thickness on the tribological performance, assessed by nan owear tests, was evaluated. The nitrogenated carbon overcoats, with th icknesses ranging from 5 to 10 nm, were deposited on 15 nm thick layer s of CoCrPt media.
