The effect of lubricant on flyability and read-write performance in ultra-low flying regime has been studied over the disks with lubricant on one half of disk surface thicker than the other half. The dynamics of a slider was monitored using Acoustic Emission (AE) and Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV). An instability characteristic of a slider flying over the thick lubricant region has been observed and this instability intensifies as flying height decreases and the step thickness increases. After the slider flies over the disks, it has been found that lubricant re-distribution occurs as lubricant is “carried” by the flying slider from the thick lubricant region and deposited onto the thin lubricant region. Possible mechanisms were discussed to explain the observations. Finally, recording tests were performed and the magnetic spacing loss due to the lubricant steps was estimated.

Important Design

At a flying height of 10 nanometers, contacts between slider and disk are likely to occur, and control of contact-induced slider vibrations is an important design consideration. In this study, slider vibrations during contact are investigated using a digital laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). The noise level of the digital interferometer is compared with that of a conventional analog LDV. In addition, acoustic emission (AE) sensors are used to evaluate the contact behavior of the slider. A comparison of AE and LDV data is performed. The results show that the noise level of the digital LDV is lower than that of the analog LDV, and that suspension sway mode vibrations and torsion mode vibrations are excited during contact as a function of the skew angle.

Vibration Measurement

Temperature dependence of Young’s modulus of Ag microwhiskers was determined by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The Ag whiskers with diameters in sub-microns were synthesized by the use of physical vapor deposition (PVD). They have a five-fold twinned structure grown along the [1 1 0] direction. The temperature coefficient of Young’s modulus was measured to be [Formula: see text] ppm/K in the range of 300 K to 650 K. The measured values are very close to the reported values of [Formula: see text] ppm/K for bulk Ag single crystals. This finding can benefit the design of Ag-based micro/nano-electromechanical systems or micro/nano-interconnectors operated at elevated or lowered temperatures.
