Application of disjoining and capillary pressure to liquid lubricant films in magnetic recording
Abstract
The behavior of liquid lubricant films on the disk surfaces in magnetic recording is analyzed using the concepts of disjoining and capillary pressure. Particular examples analyzed include lubricant distributions on rough and porous disk surfaces, lubricant flow, and the meniscus force acting on the recording slider sitting on the disk surface.
