Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Tribology Research

该合同将允许获得一台傅里叶变换红外光谱仪，用于正在进行的磁信息存储系统摩擦学研究。特别是，该仪器将用于研究覆盖在硬盘介质上的润滑膜的厚度和磨损，并跟踪可能在界面上发生的任何化学作用。

This award will allow acquisition of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer to be used in on-going studies of the tribology of magnetic information storage systems. In particular, the instrumentation will be used to study the thickness and wear of the thin lubricant films which cover the hard disk media and to follow any chemical interactions which may occur at the interface.
