Molecularly thin rheological and contact interfaces
A molecularly thin lubricant layer (of the order of 1-2 nanometers thick) has been shown to provide bearing forces at the interface between contacting solid surfaces under light loads and high shear rates. This phenomenon is important, for example, in the head-disk contact in magnetic storage hard …

Nanoscale interface mechanics with application to magnetic storage
… model is presented for dynamic contact with molecularly thin lubricant layers that exhibit solid-like responses under extremely high shear rates. The limits of continuum theory were investigated based on experimentally measured response of such lubricant layers and accounted for during …
