ReaxFF molecular dynamics study of mechanochemical degradation of PFPE lubricants on DLC in heat-assisted magnetic recording
The study shows how confined shear causes perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant degradation on DLC surfaces in Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR), revealing the reaction pathways and molecular conformation-specific mechanisms.
