Simulation studies and experimental measurement of the air bearing slider by Ho, Jefferson Rui Ming.

“…The mechanical spacing or flying height, in particular, has been greatly reduced to the nanometer regions. At such ultra-low flying height, slider-disk contact becomes unavoidable due to the flying height variations of the sliders, surface waviness of the disk and short range forces in the head-disk interface.…”
