Abstract
To further increase recording density of disk storage drives, the heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) can solve the coercive force problem of thermal fluctuation and is regarded as the key technology for achieving recording density of more than 1Tb/in2 (1)(2). In this technology, it is suggested that there are serious issues for the diamond like carbon (DLC) overcoat on the disk surface. Because that is heated to high temperature with laser beams(2). In this study, first, we measured temperature dependence of friction properties of non-lubricated DLC surface on magnetic disks. Second, we considered the influence of the accumulated smear on test pin surface during the friction test. As a result, it was estimated that the smear on pin surface accumulated by the laser irradiation was originated from the hydrocarbon contamination adsorbed on DLC surface.
