Abstract

A magnetic head includes a head slider. The head slider includes a contact surface corresponding to a disk body, and the contact surface is a flat surface. The contact surface is coated with at least one smooth atomic-scale coating formed by a two-dimensional atomic crystal material. The head slider atomically contacts with the disk body.

Claims (20)

1. A hard disk device, comprising:

a disk body;

a magnetic head comprising a head slider having a contact surface corresponding to the disk body;

wherein:

the contact surface is a flat surface;

the contact surface is coated with at least one atomic-scale smooth coating that is formed by a two-dimensional atomic crystal material;

the disk body comprises a coating of at least one protection layer, and the protection layer comprises an atomic-scale smooth surface that is formed by a two-dimensional atomic crystal material or diamond-like carbon nanofilm;

the head slider atomically contacts with the disk body; and

when the magnetic head is reading data, the magnetic head atomically contacts with the disk body under an effect of van der Waals force; when a balance of an atomic contact is achieved, the van der Waals force is at a minimum interaction potential.

2. A hard disk device, comprising:

a disk body;

a magnetic head comprising a head slider having a contact surface corresponding to the disk body;

wherein:

the contact surface is an atomic-scale smooth surface;

the contact surface is coated with at least one atomic-scale smooth coating that is formed by a two-dimensional atomic crystal material to result in an atomic-scale smooth head surface;

the disk body comprises a coating of at least one protection layer;

the protection layer comprises an atomic-scale smooth disk surface that is formed by a two-dimensional atomic crystal material or diamond-like carbon nanofilm;

the atomic-scale smooth head surface is parallel to the atomic-scale smooth disk surface; and

when in use, the atomic-scale smooth head surface atomically contacts with the atomic-scale smooth disk surface.

3. The magnetic head of claim 2 , wherein the head slider comprises a side surface which is coated by the atomic-scale smooth coating.
