Abstract

This report investigates the kinetics of lubricant molecules in the HAMR air bearing to understand the initiation and growth of PFPE contamination on the head surface. The collisions with the air bearing induce three forces—drag, thermophoresis, and lift. Of these, we find that lift forces are negligible. Then, a sensitivity analysis of the remaining two forces reveals the conditions where they dominate. Further, a hybrid simulation strategy is utilized to track their movements. The results show that the contaminations (smear) highly depend on the interplay between the thermophoresis and drag forces. We then explain the mechanism of the formation of the various observed patterns. Finally, we offer some recommendations to exploit the air bearing to contain smear on the head.

HAMR 空气轴承中全氟聚醚润滑剂动力学的数值模拟
本报告研究了 HAMR 空气轴承中润滑剂分子的动力学,以了解封头表面全氟聚醚污染物的形成和增长。与空气轴承的碰撞会产生三种力--拖曳力、热泳力和升力。我们发现其中的升力可以忽略不计。然后,对其余两种力的敏感性分析揭示了它们占主导地位的条件。此外,我们还利用混合模拟策略来跟踪它们的运动。结果表明,污染(涂抹)在很大程度上取决于热泳力和阻力之间的相互作用。然后,我们解释了各种观察到的图案的形成机制。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以利用空气轴承来控制头部的污点。
