The pressure distribution is calculated by the air-bearing model at the head/disk interface with respect to the helium content and the pressure obtained is then input to the molecular dynamics model to understand the lubricant transfer mechanism. Finally, the effects of pressure at the boundary condition and disk velocity on lubricant transfer are discussed in relation to the helium fraction within the air-helium gas mixtures. Results show there is a decrease in the pressure difference with an increase in the helium percentage, which leads to a decrease in the volume of the lubricant transferred. The results also suggest that the lubricant is not easily to transfer in gas mixtures with a high percentage of helium, even when both higher disk velocities and pressure boundary conditions are applied.展开更多

In this study, the theoretical models of the lubricant flow and depletion are deduced based on Navier-Stokes （NS） and continuity equations. The air bearing pressure on the surface of the lubrication film is solved by the modified Reynolds equation based on Fukui and Kaneko （FK） model. Then the lubricant film deformations for a plane slider and double-track slider are obtained. The equation of lubricant film thickness is deduced with the consideration of van der Waals force, the air bearing pressure, the surface tension, and the external stresses. The lubricant depletion under heat source is simulated and the effects of different working conditions including initial thickness, flying height and the speed of the disk on lubricant depletion are discussed. The main factors that cause the lubricant flow and depletion are analyzed and the ways to reduce the film thickness deformation are proposed. The simulation results indicate that the shearing stress is the most important factor that causes the thickness deformation and other terms listed in the equation have little influence. The thickness deformation is dependent on the working parameter, and the thermal condition evaporation is the most important factor.展开更多

Inert lubricant perfluoropolyether (PFPE) on magnetic hard disk in computer is still prone to catalytic decomposition by Al_2O_3, which is one of the materials in slider. A partial fluorinated hexaphenoxy cyclotriphosphazene chemical, X-1 P, was analyzed to research on its function to reduce the cata- lytic decomposition of lubricant. The surface free energy of X-1 P coated on head surface was also investigated. Contact start-stop (CSS) tester was employed to investigate the reflow effective of X-1 P on lubricant PFPE. Results indicate that thermal stability and reflow of lubricant will be im- proved in the presence of X-1 P on the slider.展开更多

The shear thinning effect is taken into account by introducing modification coefficients into the lubricant rheological model. The perturbation theory is employed to set up the dynamic pressure equation. The Reynolds equation and dynamic pressure equations are solved by finite difference method. The results obtained by the difference methods agree well with that calculated by the close solutions. IBM3370 slider is employed as a physical model. The slider of the system can keep flying at 20 nm height, which promises a potential application on high density recording device.展开更多

The modified Reynolds equation considering rarefied gas effect is used to calculate the rarefied region of a negative pressure magnetic head working in the distance of 10 nm. Inverse Knudsen number was adopted to calculating the ratio of the rarefied area. According to the numerical resuks, discussions and analyses are then presented to reveal the rarefied effect on the working performances of a magnetic head. The results show that the magnetic head works in the slip-flow and transition regions and moves to the transition region with the increase in velocity. Furthermore, the maximum rarefied effects occur at the side edges where the flying height is thinner and pressure is lower, rather than in the minimum flying height on the rear. The results also show that with considering the rarefied effects, the load-carrying capacity of the magnetic head and the maximum pressure decrease significantly, but the minimum pressure slightly changes.展开更多

A basal solution, addition agents and a range of pH value are suitably selected to find a kind of slurry, with which the PTR can be controlled on sub-nanometer scale and the giant magnetic resistance （GMR） corrosion and electrostatic damage （ESD） can be avoided. Moreover, the cause that TiC protrudes from the substrate surface of the heads is studied. The appropriate shape and size of diamond abrasive are selected according to the chemical activation of A1203 and TiC in the same slurry. In this way, the chemical and mechanical interactions are optimized and the optimal surface that has small PTR and TiC asperity is achieved. Ultimatily, the chemical mechanical nano-grinding in combination with mechanical nano-grinding is adopted. Sub-nanometer PTR is achieved and the TiC asperity is eliminated by the chemical mechanical nano-grinding with large size ofmonocrystalline followed by mechanical nano-grinding with smalle polycrystalline diamonds.展开更多

In Vietnam, paddy with different moisture contents （from 13% to 17%） is dehusked by both rubber roll and stone disk. Thus, objective of this research was to evaluate the technical and economic aspects of the two methods. Optimization was conducted with 20 experiments for input factors （moisture content） and output factors （head brown rice recovery, specific energy consumption）. Besides, other factors were also monitored, such as the gap between the two disks, speed of disk and roll, and pressure of rubber roll on paddy. Test results showed that the maximum value of head brown rice （77.4%） and the minimum value of specific energy consumption （0.66 kWh/ton） corresponding to moisture content of paddy of 13.7% for stone disk dehusker. At similar moisture content （13.7%）, head brown rice recovery and specific energy consumption were 77.2% and 1.04 kWh/ton for rubber roll dehusker, respectively. As the result, specific energy consumption of rubber roll dehusker was higher than that of stone disk dehusker, corresponding to the higher dehusking efficiency.展开更多

A spin coating method in conjunction with the electroformation technique yielded vesicles with highly homogeneous unilamellar structure. We observed QD size dependence of the QLC formation: QLCs form with blue, green and yellow-emission QD (core radius ~1.05 nm, 1.25 nm and 1.65 nm) but not with red-emission QD (core radius ~2.5 nm). In order to explain this size dependence, we made a simple model explaining the QD size effect on QLC formation in terms of the molecular packing parameter and the lipid conformational change. This model predicts that QDs below a certain critical size (radius ≈ 1.8 nm) can stably reside in a lipid bilayer of 4 - 5 nm in thickness for Egg-PC lipids. This is consistent with our previous experimental results. In the case of red-emission QD, QD-aggregations are only observed on the fluorescent microscopy instead of QLC. We expected that the reduction of packing parameter (P) would lead to the change of specific QD radius. This prediction could be verified by our experimental observation of the shift of the specific QD size by mixing DOPG.展开更多
