Will the numbers add up for sub-7-nm magnetic spacings? Future metrology issues for disk drive lubricants, overcoats, and topographies by Mate, C.M., Qing Dai, Payne, R.N., Knigge, B.E., Baumgart, P.

“…To achieve disk drive recording densities greater than one terabit per square inch, future head-media spacings (HMSs) will need to be less than 7 nm. This will…”

Flying Characteristics on Discrete Track and Bit-Patterned Media With a Thermal Protrusion Slider by Knigge, B.E., Bandic, Z.Z., Kercher, D.

“…Future disk drives may have discretized tracks or bit patterns for increased thermal stability and higher areal density. This affects the surface topography,…”

Influence of contact potential on slider-disk spacing: simulation and experiment by Knigge, B.E., Mate, C.M., Ruiz, O., Baumgart, P.M.

“…As slider-to-disk spacing becomes smaller than 10 nm, electrostatic and intermolecular forces become increasingly important. Even if the slider and disk are…”
