Use of nanometer thin films has received significant attention in recent years because of their advantages in controlling friction and wear. There have been significant advances in applications such as magnetic storage devices, and there is a need to explore new materials and develop experimental and theoretical frameworks to better understand nanometer thick coating systems, especially wear characteristics. In this work, a finite element model is developed to simulate the sliding wear between the protruded pole tip in a recording head (modeled as submicrometer radius cylinder) and a rigid asperity on the disk surface. Wear is defined as plastically deformed asperity and material yielding. Parametric studies reveal the effect of the cylindrical asperity geometry, material properties, and contact severity on wear. An Archard-type wear model is proposed, where the wear coefficients are directly obtained through curve fitting of the finite element model, without the use of an empirical coefficient. Limitations of such a model are also discussed.

Nano-structured polymer stamps were prepared from porous anodic alumina templates. Prepolymers were poured onto the highly ordered porous anodic alumina templates, and they were cured by UV-irradiation. Simple separation of the elastic stamp from the nanoporous aluminum oxide leads to well replicated nano-stamps. The nanopatterns on the stamp were transferred as ultrahigh-density nanopore arrays on various substrates which are potentially applicable to the fabrication of ultrahigh-density metallic or semiconductor nanodot arrays for magnetic storage devices or display devices.

Ray Scattering

Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering is reported from nanoclusters in superparamagnetic (SPM) polycrystalline Co separated by Au. The self-organization of the Co nanoclusters is in the form of nanopillar-like structures with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. A distinct signature of regular near-neighbour ordering is observed, which is commonly observed in patterned nanostructures. The estimated cluster sizes corroborate with those estimated from their magnetic field response. Most significantly, the SPM limit for these clusters can be raised to above room temperature (∼325 K) with an increase in the vertical correlation of the nanopillars. The slow response time of these uniform nanomagnetic grains (with respect to a 10 kHz AC field) suggests their possible usage as potential magnetic storage devices in the form of three-dimensional nanopillars.
