The award funds a non-contacting profilometer to be used in on-going            research on the wear behavior of solid lubricant films on oxide                 coated disks used for magnetic information storage.  These lubricant            films prevent head "crashes" and consequent information loss during             start-up or power loss.  Since they cannot be replenished during the            life of the hard disk their wear behavior is critical to the over-all           performance of the disk;  and since they are extremely thin and                 easily deformed their wear behavior is most readily studied using a             high-resolution, non-contacting optical profilometer such as the                instrument funded under this grant.
