摘要:
A vertical recording type magnetic recording medium which includes at least a vertical magnetic recording layer and a backing layer which backs the vertical magnetic recording layer and is magnetized in a direction toward the inside of the surface. The backing layer is made of ferromagnetic materia1 which has a compensation temperature in the neighborhood of a recording/reproducing temperature at which magnetic information, recorded in the vertica1 magnetic recording layer, is reproduced.
摘要:
The invention relates to a magneto-optical switching device for switching magnetization in a medium, comprising a magnetizable medium. According to the invention, a radiation system suited for imparting angular momentum to the magnetic spin system of said magnetizable medium, so as to selectively orient the magnetization of said medium. In addition, the invention relates to a method of switching a magnetizable medium, comprising providing a magnetizable medium; providing a radiation beam of a selectively chosen angular momentum; and targeting said radiation beam to said medium so as to transfer said angular momentum to a magnetic spin system of said magnetizable medium. Accordingly, spin states in magnetic materials can be manipulated using radiation of a suitable angular momentum. An effective magnetic field is generated for orienting the magnetization of the domains and can simultaneously be used to locally heat the material.

An optical disc comprising: a first optical recording area storing first data represented by a secret code; and a second optical recording area including a barcode-like pattern (387a) representing second data containing information of an ID number for the optical disc, wherein the information of the ID number forms a secret code unlocking key for decoding the first data represented by the secret code into corresponding non-secret data.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium that remarkably reduces the amount of time and energy required for writing and reading while maintaining high-density recording, thus providing a compact and energy-saving magneto-optical recording device. The magneto-optical medium comprises a recording layer (23) composed of material with photoinduced effects and a memory layer (24) composed of ferromagnetic film with vertical magnetic anisotropy, so that it may directly produce magnetism by photoinduced magnetization when irradiated.
摘要:
A laser beam is projected from an optical head (40) while applying an alternating field from a magnetic head (52). A reproduced signal is fed from the optical head (40) through a reproduced signal amplifying circuit (41) to a reproduced signal detection circuit (45). A detection signal CK from discontinuous regions provided at specified intervals in grooves made in a magnetooptical recording medium (1) is inputted to a circuit (46) for generating an external synchronizing signal SYN. In response to the external synchronizing signal SYN, the reproduced signal detection circuit (45) calculates the difference between the reproduced signal generated while a magnetic field for enlarging the magnetic domains is applied and the reproduced signal generated while a magnetic field for erasing the magnetic domains. The difference is detected as a reproduced signal RF. A low frequency "beat" contained in the reproduced signal from the optical head (40) is canceled and an accurate reproduced signal RF is produced.
