Bubble stability, influenced by cover layer thickness, recording/readout power, and dielectric layer properties, strongly affects disk durability.

Conclusions:

Bubble stability is the primary determinant of super-RENS disk readout durability.
Improving durability involves optimizing cover layer thickness, power parameters, and dielectric mechanical properties.
