dc.description.abstract
Nowadays data storage and its sustainability is a topic of great importance, not only for cloud providers but also for other companies and even for people in their personal lives. Most of the data stored is referred to as cold data, meaning it is very rarely accessed (e.g. photos, research results). That cold data must be stored, in order to do that, cloud providers run server farms utilizing hard drive discs (HDD). In that way they make the data available on the users’ demand. Those server farms need a lot of energy, and the storage capacity is limited. To overcome the issue of needed energy and limited capacity a new form of storage media is in the focus of our research. By utilizing a certain coating-substrate combination, it is possible to write data into ceramic discs using a femtosecond laser. By applying this method, it is possible to write a large amount (1.25 PB) of data onto a relatively small area (100 cm²) of the ceramic disc. Within our research we analyzed different coating-substrate combinations regarding their mechanical properties and laser ablation characteristics. The coatings investigated were synthesized by magnetron sputtering and argon nitrogen gas mixture using different composite targets e.g. Ti, Cr, TiAlCr, and AlCrNbTaTi. The coatings were deposited on different substrates including sapphire, silicon, glass and austenitic steel. All the coatings were investigated by XRD showing a single-phase fcc-structure and hardness values ranging from 21 to 33 GPa. After investigating structure and mechanical properties, laser ablation tests were conducted to determine the laser ablation barrier and to find suitable coating-substrate combinations for the aimed application. Furthermore, after writing data into the samples, the samples were annealed and oxidized to test the high temperature stability of the different materials.
