Abstract

The highlights of all the works described in this thesis to create ultrathin protective carbon-based overcoats (monolithic, bi-layer and overcoats possessing a composite interlayer and/or interfacial layer) for magnetic hard disk media and magnetic tape heads are reviewed. Finally, some future works in this research area are proposed.
