This paper deals with the measurement of friction force exerted on molecularly thin lubricant film surfaces using a specially arranged pin-on-disk type friction tester. The measurements were carried out by sliding a 1.5-mm-diameter glass ball slider on a rotating disk surface with small loading force. Polar and non-polar PFPE lubricants were dip-coated on magnetic disks covered with diamond-like-carbon (DLC) film. Lubricant film thickness was varied to constitute multiple layered film structures on the DLC surface. To clarify the stratified effect of thin lubricant film on friction, a lightly loading force and a slow rotational speed were selected. The tested results showed that the friction force on non-polar lubricant surfaces increase slightly for mono-layer and multi-layer cases, while the friction force on polar lubricants show steady and gradual increase with increasing loading force. We conclude that friction force at small loading force is dependent intimately on the thickness, molecular weight and end-group functionality.

For long durability of magnetic media and head sliders, protective overcoats of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) are generally used. In this study, microtribological studies of hydrogenated amorphous carbon coatings deposited on a single-crystal silicon using three different deposition techniques—sputtering, ion beam and cathodic arc—were studied using atomic force/friction force microscopy (AFM/FFM). Roughnesses of all coatings at two scan sizes of 1 μm × 1 μm and 10 μm × 10 μm are comparable. Surface topography of sputtered carbon coating shows some particulates on the surface. Cathodic arc carbon coating exhibits the lowest coefficient of friction value followed by ion beam and sputtered carbon coatings. Microscratch and wear resistance and nanohardness of cathodic arc carbon coating are superior to those of ion beam and sputtered carbon coatings. Cathodic arc deposited carbon coatings are potential candidates for magnetic disks and heads.
