  • Carbon-deuterium protective overcoat layer
    Patent number: 8771850
    Abstract: A substrate having a carbon-deuterium protective overcoat layer, and method for making the same. In some embodiments, the substrate includes a recording structure having a magnetic recording layer. A protective overcoat layer is Formed on the recording structure, the protective overcoat layer composed of carbon-carbon (C—C) and carbon-deuterium (C-D) bonds and having no carbon-hydrogen (C—H) bonds.

  • Head-disk stiction reduction
    Publication number: 20030102218
    Abstract: Magnetic disk drive head/disk stiction is reduced by applying an electrostatic field between the head and the disk as the head dwells in contact with the disk surface. Just before the disk drive begins disk rotation in order that the heads take off, the electrostatic field is removed.
