Ultrathin Carbon-Based Overcoats for Extremely High Density Magnetic Recording

Ultrathin Carbon-Based Overcoats for Extremely High Density Magnetic Recording by Reuben Jueyuan Yeo.

This book presents the latest research in ultrathin carbon-based protective overcoats for high areal density magnetic data storage systems, with a particular focus on hard disk drives (HDDs) and tape drives. These findings shed new light on how the microstructure and interfacial chemistry of these s...
