A Description of Multiscale Modeling for the Head-Disk Interface Focusing on Bottom-Level Lubricant and Carbon Overcoat Models
Figure 36
The simulated nanomechanics for functional PFPE () films: (a) two well-equilibrated films approach each other, so-called “compression”; (b) two films are in contact; (c) two films completely contact and merge into one confined film; (d) the top surface is retracted, so-called “tension”; and (e) the confined film is being separated into two parts in the nearly end of the “tension.” Note that light blue indicates the backbone beads and red represents the functional end beads.
