TL;DR: In this article, the structural properties of ultra-thin hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC:H) films subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA, 1 s up to 659 C) were analyzed.
Material Transfer Inside Head Disk Interface for Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording
TL;DR: In this paper, material transfer within the head disk interface (HDI) under heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) conditions is studied and the mechanisms of material transfer are explored via experiments and modeling.

Effective Dielectric Constant of Heterogeneous Media
TL;DR: In this article, a method for measuring the dielectric constant and conductivity of powders is described, which is based on the demagnetization coefficient and intrinsic dielectrics of the powder particles.

Thermal Response Time of Media in Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording
Shaomin Xiong,Robert Smith,Na Wang,Dongbo Li,Erhard Schreck,Sripathi Vangipuram Canchi,Qing Dai +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal response time of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) media under three different heating methods is systematically investigated through experiments and numerical analysis, and a lumped model is built to simplify the heat conduction problem to understand the difference in thermal responses under various experimental conditions.
