Abstract :
The tribological performance of nano and pico sliders on commercially available laser textured media is investigated using contact start/stop testing. The acoustic emission signal and the stiction force are determined for a number of typical slider/disk combinations, and the effect of high humidity and elevated temperatures are studied
