چکیده

in hard disk drives (hdd), it is necessary to decrease the flying height (fh) between the head and the disk (currently, fh is around 3-5 nm) so as to increase recording densities. retaining the solid lubricant has become a difficult proposition owing to intermittent contact between the surfaces. ztmd and z are used as solid lubricant to lubricate these interfaces. in this paper, the behavior of the binary mixture lubricant such as ztmd & z is modeled and analyzed using molecular dynamics (md) simulation with the help of gromacs software. it can be observed from simulation studies that ztmd has poor replenishment performance although it possesses good retention properties. addition of z molecules improves replenishment performance of whole system. when ztmd molecules alone are modeled, final structure attains stable state only at -4800 kjmol-1. after the addition of z molecules, final structure (ztmd+z) attains more stable state at -6950 kj mol-1. when compared to ztmd, binary mixture lubricants (ztmd + z) are considered as more stable and for use in hdds for their efficient operation.

Simple and Efficient Algorithm for Large Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulation in Hard Disk System

A simple and efficient algorithm of the molecular-dynamics simulation of the hard disk system based on the Event-Driven method is developed. From the analysis of algorithm, the complexity is O(logN) per 1 event, and the constant coefficient of the complexity is smaller than conventional efficient algorithm based on the concept of Cell-Crossing Event. The maximum performance of more than 460 mil...

Mobile particles in an immobile environment : Molecular Dynamics simulation of a binary Yukawa mixture

– Molecular dynamics computer simulations are used to investigate the dynamics of a binary mixture of charged (Yukawa) particles with a size–ratio of 1:5. We find that the system undergoes a phase transition where the large particles crystallize while the small particles remain in a fluid–like (delocalized) phase. Upon decreasing temperature below the transition, the small particles become incr...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Lubricant Adsorption and Thermal Depletion Instability

In this work, we incorporated a quartic bond potential into a coarse-grained bead-spring model to study lubricant adsorption on a solid surface as well as depletion instability. The surface tension density and the number density profiles were examined to verify the solid-liquid and liquid-vapor interfaces during heat treatment. It was found that both the liquid-vapor interfacial thickness and t...
