Ultrasmooth carbon for ultrahigh data storage density
Ultra-smooth diamond-like carbon surfaces are key to enable the ultimate storage density of 1 terabit/ inch2 in next generation ultra-high storage density hard disks. Cambridge researchers shed light on how these surfaces grow, the key to enabling design engineers and manufacturers to optimize the structure of these surfaces for this and other applications.
