Abstract: In this paper, a viscosity modification model is developed which can be applied to describe the thin film lubrication problems. The viscosity distribution along the direction normal to solid ...

Abstract: Since the current thickness of the gas film between the slider and the disk in Hard Disk Drive is already only one order of magnitude larger than the diameter of gas molecules, the nanoscale ...

Abstract: Nanocomposite coatings of TiN/Si3N4 have been prepared by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD): simultaneous sputtering of Ti and Si targets and film bombardment by N2+ ions at 1000 eV. The ...

Abstract: Characteristics of a liquid lubricant film at the nanometer scale are discussed in the present paper. The variations of the film thickness in a central contact region between a glass disk and ...
