    摘要: A magnetic recording medium for data storage uses a magnetic recording layer having at least two ferromagnetic films exchange coupled together antiferromagnetically across a nonferromagnetic spacer film. In this antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) recording layer the magnetic moments of the two ferromagnetic films are oriented antiparallel, and thus the net remanent magnetization-thickness product (Mrt) of the AFC recording layer is the difference in the Mrt values of the two ferromagnetic films. This reduction in Mrt is accomplished without a reduction in thermal stability of the recording medium. The lower ferromagnetic film in the AFC recording layer is a ferromagnetic CoCrFe alloy that does not require a nucleation layer between it and the Cr alloy underlayer. The medium with the CoCrFe alloy as the first or lower ferromagnetic film in the AFC recording layer has reduced intrinsic media noise.

    摘要: A magnetic recording disk has a magnetic recording layer formed on a special multilayered “host” layer. The host layer is a “synthetic antiferromagnetically”, i.e., at least two ferromagnetic films that are exchange-coupled antiferromagnetically (AF) to one another across a nonferromagnetic spacer film so that their magnetic moments are oriented antiparallel. The magnetic recording layer has a different composition from the top ferromagnetic film in the host layer and is ferromagnetically coupled to the top ferromagnetic film of the host layer. The magnetic volume V of the composite structure (magnetic recording layer and host layer) that determines the thermal stability will be approximately the sum of the volumes of the grains in the magnetic recording layer and the AF-coupled ferromagnetic films of the host layer. However, the magnetic moment of the composite structure is primarily just the moment from the magnetic recording layer because the host layer is designed to have essentially no net magnetic moment.

    摘要: A magnetic recording disk has a magnetic recording layer that includes a ferromagnetic host layer and a ferromagnetic overlay deposited directly on the host layer with an effective overlay thickness in the range of 1-40 Angstroms. The ferromagnetic material used in the overlay contains Co, Fe and/or Ni and has a magnetic moment significantly greater than that of the material in the ferromagnetic host layer. The ferromagnetic overlays improve the thermal stability of superparamagnetic grains contained within the host layers by magnetically coupling the grains through bridging. The enhanced thermal stability of the media allows for the use of thinner ferromagnetic host layers, and leads to lower remanent magnetization-thickness product (Mrt) values and higher recording densities.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention is a layered magnetic thin film structure that uses antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC) magnetic layers where the top layer structure consists of an upper magnetic layer that is weakly ferromagnetically coupled via a nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic exchange coupling layer (interlayer) to a ferromagnetic exchange enhancing layer that is in turn, AF coupled to the lower ferromagnetic layer of the AFC structure. Preferred materials for the weak coupling layer include alloys of cobalt such as CoRu, CoBRu and CoCr in which the Co content is below the point at which the material would be ferromagnetic. A second embodiment of the invention is a laminated, AF-coupled media structure. In this structure the lower AFC layer that makes up the lower laminate layer includes: the middle magnetic layer, the weak ferromagnetic coupling layer, and the exchange enhancing layer.

    摘要: The invention includes a disk drive with a magnetic recording disk with an upper and lower sublayer in at least one magnetic layer of a laminated magnetic layer structure that includes a spacer layer that substantially decouples the magnetic layers. The lower sublayer has a lower boron content than the upper sublayer and a preferred embodiment is CoPtCrBTa. The upper sublayer is deposited onto the lower sublayer and is preferably CoPtCrB with a higher boron content than the lower sublayer. The composition of the lower sublayer gives it a very low moment with low intrinsic coercivity which would not be useful as a recording layer on its own. The upper sublayer is a higher moment alloy with high intrinsic coercivity. An embodiment of the invention includes a laminated magnetic layer structure which is antiferromagnetically coupled to a lower ferromagnetic layer.

    摘要: A laminated magnetic recording medium for data storage has an antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) layer and a single ferromagnetic layer spaced apart by a nonferromagnetic spacer layer. The AFC layer is formed as two ferromagnetic films antiferromagnetically coupled together across an antiferromagnetically coupling film that has a composition and thickness to induce antiferromagnetic coupling. In each of the two remanent magnetic states, the magnetic moments of the two antiferromagnetically-coupled films in the AFC layer are oriented antiparallel, and the magnetic moment of the single ferromagnetic layer and the greater-moment ferromagnetic film of the AFC layer are oriented parallel. The nonferromagnetic spacer layer between the AFC layer and the single ferromagnetic layer has a composition and thickness to prevent antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. The laminated medium has improved thermal stability and reduced intrinsic media noise.

    摘要: A laminated magnetic recording structure for use in perpendicular or longitudinal recording is described. A small amount of ferromagnetic coupling is added between the two magnetic layers that are sufficiently decoupled to switch independently. In one embodiment the coupling is achieved by doping the spacer layer with a ferromagnetic material. Ruthenium (Ru), which is a preferred nonmagnetic material for spacer layers with cobalt (Co) being the preferred magnetic material. The weak ferromagnetic coupling can also be achieved through the use of platinum, palladium and alloys thereof for the spacer layer without the addition of a ferromagnetic element, but alternatively they can also be doped with ferromagnetic elements. For embodiments for perpendicular recording the spacer layer further can additionally comprise oxides of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Si, Ta, Ti, Nb, Cr, V and B.

    摘要: A laminated magnetic recording medium for data storage uses a magnetic recording layer having at least two antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) layers spaced apart by a nonferromagnetic spacer layer. Each AFC layer is formed as two ferromagnetic films antiferromagnetically coupled together across an antiferromagnetically coupling film that has a composition and thickness to induce antiferromagnetic coupling of the second film to the first film. The magnetic moments of the two antiferromagnetically-coupled films in each AFC layer are oriented antiparallel, and thus the net remanent magnetization-thickness product (Mrt) of each AFC layer is the difference in the Mrt values of the two ferromagnetic films. The nonferromagnetic spacer layer between neighboring AFC layers has a composition and thickness to prevent any antiferromagnetic coupling of the ferromagnetic films of one AFC layer with the ferromagnetic films of the neighboring AFC layer.
