摘要:
In an ultra-high-density data storage device that includes at least one energy beam emitter (240) and a data storage medium (210) that itself includes an organic material (200), the organic material may include one or more Langmuir-Blodgett layers and may include a conductive polymer. Localized presence or absence of localized disorder in the Langmuir-Blodgett layers may be used to detect data bits formed in the data storage medium. The present or absence of one-dimensional conductivity in the organic material may also be used to read data bits formed in the data storage medium.

摘要:
An information recording medium having such a recording material layer on a substrate where reversible phase transition between electrically or optically detectable states can be caused by electric energy or electromagnetic energy. The recording material forming the recording layer is either a material having a crystal structure including lattice defects in one phase of the reversible phase transition or a material having a complex phase composed of a crystal portion including a lattice defect in one phase of the reversible phase transition and an amorphous portion. Both portions contain a common element. A part of the lattice defects are filled with an element other than the element constituting the crystal structure. The recording medium having a recording thin film exhibits little variation of the recording and reproduction characteristics even after repetition of recording and reproduction excellent weatherability, strong resistance against composition variation, and easily controllable characteristics.

The present invention provides a recording medium (10) having a plurality of charge accumulating regions (14) each containing a first material capable of accumulating an electric charge and a photoconductive region (17) containing a second material whose conductivity is increased by light absorption, a recording apparatus including such a recording medium (10), and a method recording information on such a recording medium (10). In the present invention, information is recorded on the recording medium (10) by irradiating the photoconductive region (17) with light and by injecting an electric charge into the charge accumulating region (14) via that portion of the photoconductive region (17) which is irradiated with light.

An apparatus for recording and reading data by measuring contact resistance and a method for recording and reading data thereof are provided. The apparatus for recording and reading data includes a storage medium and a probe which is installed to face the storage medium and is used for recording data on the storage medium and reading the data from the storage medium. The storage medium includes a substrate (35), a conductive layer (34) formed on the substrate and a dielectric layer (33) formed on the conductive layer. With the apparatus for recording and reading data, it is possible to solve problems concerning data retention, data read speed and signal-to-noise ratio which have been at issue in developing data storage media with the use of conventional scanning probe microscopic techniques.
