Micro-tribological properties and applications of super-hard and lubricating coatings
Abstract
The microtribological field is concerned with atomic-scale wear and friction fluctuations which can degrade information processing equipment performance, and treats these problems with novel lubricating and hard films. Attention is given to a surface material composition model for the achievement of microtribological zero-wear, using a Si-containing C film as the surface material and further improving its tribological characteristics through fluorination; fluorination decreases surface energy through the contact angle of water to a fluorinated surface.
