A method for making a magnetic disk comprises forming first and second protective carbon layers on a magnetic layer. The first protective carbon layer is predominantly SP3 carbon. The second protective carbon layer comprises about 50% or less SP3 carbon. The second protective carbon layer is very thin, e. g. between 0. 1 and 1. 0 nm thick. A lubricant layer (e. g. a perfluoropolyether lubricant) is applied to the second protective carbon layer. The second protective carbon layer facilitates improved cooperation between lubricant and the disk.

A method of forming a layer of a hard, abrasion, and corrosion-resistant hydrogenated carbon (C:H) material on a substrate surface comprises steps of: (a) providing a vacuum chamber including a carbon sputtering target in the interior space thereof; (b) providing a substrate in the chamber interior space, a surface of the substrate the sputtering target; (c) supplying the vacuum chamber with at least one hydrocarbon gas and at least one inert gas at separately controllable flow rates and applying a sufficient negative potential to the carbon target to generate a plasma in said interior space to deposit a layer of the C:H material on the substrate surface by a process comprising simultaneous sputtering of the carbon sputtering target and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon gas, wherein: step (c) includes separately controlling the flow rates of each of the hydrocarbon and inert gases such that the amount of C atoms in the C:H which are contributed by the PECVD component of the process is less than about 50 at. %. Embodiments of the invention include utilizing the C:H material as a protective overcoat layer for magnetic and magneto-optical recording media.

Sputtering method for producing amorphous hydrogenated carbon thin films with high sp. sup. 3 content. By sputtering the carbon with a pulsed DC power supply having high voltage peaks, a carbon film with remarkably high sp. sup. 3 bonding fraction can be obtained. Previously, carbon films with a very high sp. sup. 3 fraction film with content as high (e. g. as 80%) could only be produced by methods such as filtered cathodic arc deposition or chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD) such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) and ion-beam deposition operating at some narrowly defined range of deposition conditions. It is very advantageous to use sputtering to create a high sp. sup. 3 content film, since sputtering is more manufacturable and has higher productivity compared to CVD or ion-beam deposition methods. The resultant carbon film has excellent durability and corrosion resistance capability down to very low thickness.

A medical system includes one or more processors. The processors are configured to perform operations including receiving image data associated with an anatomic feature from a first imaging device. The image data is associated with a first imaging device space. Probe data associated with the anatomic feature is obtained from a second imaging device. The probe data is associated with a second imaging device space. The probe data is registered to the image data to generate a first registration between the second imaging device space and the first imaging device space. Anatomic model associated with the anatomic feature is registered to the probe data to generate a second registration between a model space of the anatomic model and the second imaging device space. A third registration between the model space and the first imaging device space is generated based on the first registration and the second registration.
