Claims
- 1. A magnetic recording medium, comprising:
a data zone, a landing zone, a first data zone lubrication layer comprising a first data zone lubricant on the data zone and a landing zone lubrication layer comprising a landing zone lubricant on the landing zone,
wherein the first data zone lubricant and the landing zone lubricant are not the same lubricant.
- 2. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, further comprising a second data zone lubrication layer comprising a second data zone lubricant on the first data zone lubrication layer.
- 3. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a property that is different from that of the landing zone lubricant, wherein the property is selected from the group consisting of a chemical property and a physical property.
- 4. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a property that is different from that of the landing zone lubricant, wherein the property is selected from the group consisting of composition, molecular structure, number average molecular weight, packing density of molecules, reactivity, boiling point, viscosity, dielectric constant and specific gravity.
- 5. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubricant and the landing zone lubricant are a solid lubricant, a liquid lubricant or mixtures thereof.
- 6. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubricant is vapor deposited.
- 7. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a higher bonded ratio than that of the landing zone lubricant.
- 8. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 1, wherein the first data zone lubrication layer is UV-irradiated.
- 9. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the second data zone lubricant is the same as the landing zone lubricant.
- 10. The magnetic recording medium according to claim 2, wherein a combined thickness of the first data zone lubrication layer and the second data zone lubrication layer is approximately equal to a thickness of the landing zone lubrication layer.
- 11. A method of depositing lubrication layers on a magnetic recording medium comprising a data zone and a landing zone, the method comprising:
depositing a first data zone lubricant on the data zone and depositing a landing zone lubricant on the landing zone,
wherein the first data zone lubricant and the landing zone lubricant are not the same lubricant.
- 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising depositing a second data zone lubrication layer comprising a second data zone lubricant on the first data zone lubrication layer.
- 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a property that is different from that of the landing zone lubricant, wherein the property is selected from the group consisting of a chemical property and a physical property.
- 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a property that is different from that of the landing zone lubricant, wherein the property is selected from the group consisting of composition, molecular structure, number average molecular weight, packing density of molecules, reactivity, boiling point, viscosity, dielectric constant and specific gravity.
- 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the first data zone lubricant and the landing zone lubricant are a solid lubricant, a liquid lubricant or mixtures thereof.
- 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the first data zone lubricant is vapor deposited.
- 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the first data zone lubricant has a higher bonded ratio than that of the landing zone lubricant.
- 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the second data zone lubricant is the same as the landing zone lubricant.
- 19. A magnetic recording medium, comprising:
multiple zones and means for lubricating said multiple zones.
- 20. The magnetic recording medium of claim 20, wherein said multiple zones comprise data zone and landing zone.
