Thermal-assisted atomic force microscope (AFM) based data storage is an attractive potential solution to supersede magnetic hard disks for more storage capacity. This research work focuses on analysis of heat transfer in the AFM-based data storage system by using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (...
