If possible, I prefer to use Wikipedia, which is also a major feed for ChatGPT. But what can really be trusted these days? The Australian Broadcasting Corporation, which is publicly funded and required by law to be independent, recently reported that Wikipedia has about 250,000 volunteer human fact checkers.
I think users of ChatGPT should follow Peter Walker's advice about his electrostatic speakers "If you don't like what comes out, pay more attention to what goes in". The questions are as important as the answers.
Your first reference Quantifying the triboelectric series - PMC looks at about 50 polymers, with the other material being liquid mercury. Vinyl is the sixth most affected polymer listed, but I could find no mention of the other material, such as diamond. It takes two surfaces for the tribo- to tango.
Your second reference The Triboelectric Effect Series - AlphaLab, Inc looks at the effect of rubbing against wool. None of the materials tested was glass, nor is diamond mentioned. There are notes about how metals compare with wool, but neither glass nor diamond is a metal.
As far as micron particles in the groove, and the stylus with a high static pressure (stylus vertical tracking force divided by stylus surface area) causing the dust particle to be embedded in the groove, that is a very weak theory.
Well, whether it is weak or strong, it is not my theory! I am saying that a charged particle is clamped in the groove by electrostatic attraction between a dislodged electron and a positively charged bit of dust. The closest chemical bond analogy might be welding.
I am certainly not saying that all bits of dust are charged, or all static is caused by the triboelectric effect. As you say in your book, Zerostats are very good at charging records, both positively and negatively, and it takes operator skill to try and leave the record neutral.
Your own textbook indicates that a significant portion of analysed dust retrieved from records was made up of diamond, and I am putting two and two together and guessing this comes from stylus wear, which like the triboelectric effect, is caused by friction.
The way I try to confirm if the noise is caused by adhered particles is to see if specific clicks or pops are removed by ultrasonic cleaning. Often they are. I don't think static discharge by itself is the problem. If it were, once discharged there would be no repeated clicks or pops from the same spot on the record.
Recently I have been playing just a few sides, moving from a Garrard 301 with an aluminium platter to a Holbo, also with an aluminium platter. Subjectively, surface noise seems to increase at a faster rate on the Holbo. The Garrard came standard with a rubber mat, which I replaced with a 5-mm thick Funk Achromat mat made from vinyl - essentially made from the same vinyl as records. The Holbo comes with no mat and has a black colour to its very finely finished aluminium platter, but whether this is anodized, painted, or something else, I don't know.
The Holbo cannot take the 5mm thick mat and the supplied puck - the spindle is not quite long enough to centre the puck. But I will get a 3-mm Achromat to try.
One brand new record would not play on the Holbo - it continually skipped at one specific point. When I tried it on the Garrard, at twice the tracking force, whatever caused the skip was mitigated (bulldozed, maybe), and that section now plays properly on either table.
