Abstract
Gases sampled directly from the sliding interface of a carbon-coated thin-film magnetic recording disk and a conventional read/write head show that carbon dioxide is generated during sliding in both dry-nitrogen and dry-oxygen environments. The generation rate is approximately ten times greater when sliding in oxygen rather than nitrogen. A novel pressure interface and sampling system was developed for the experiments.Keywords
