Notes:
Using a combination of high-resolution x-ray reflectivity (XRR), nanotribological, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques, a thorough description of the structural parameters of ultrathin CNx overcoats on CoCr magnetic films is obtained. In addition, the tribological performance as a function of deposition energy is shown to correlate well with trends found by XRR and XPS. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
