    摘要: A magnetic recording disk drive has a bilayer recording medium of a high-anisotropy recording layer and an exchange-coupled antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic (AF-F) transition layer. The transition layer has an AF-F transition temperature (TAF-F) that decreases relatively rapidly with increasing applied magnetic field. Thus the transition layer has a transition field HAF-F(T), which is the applied magnetic field required to transition the material from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic at temperature T without the need to heat the layer. At ambient temperature and in the absence of HW, the transition layer is antiferromagnetic and the switching field H0 of the bilayer is just the H0 of the high-anisotropy recording layer, which is typically much higher than HW. In the presence of the write field HW the transition layer transitions from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic so that data can be written to the recording by the mere application of the write field HW without the need to heat the transition layer or recording layer. The transition layer may be formed of Fe(RhM), where M is an element selected from V, Mn, Au and Ni.

    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 patterned magnetic recording disk has a magnetic recording layer patterned into discrete magnetic and nonmagnetic regions having substantially the same chemical composition. The magnetic regions have a chemically-ordered L12 crystalline structure and the nonmagnetic regions have a chemically-disordered crystalline structure. The chemically-ordered intermetallic compound CrPt3, which is ferromagnetic, is rendered paramagnetic by ion irradiation. This CrPt3 material is patterned by irradiating local regions through a mask to create nonmagnetic regions. The ions pass through the openings in the mask and impact the chemically-ordered CrPt3 in selected regions corresponding to the pattern of holes in the mask. The ions disrupt the ordering of the Cr and Pt atoms in the unit cell and transform the CrPt3 into paramagnetic regions corresponding to the mask pattern, with the regions of the film not impacted by the ions retaining their chemically-ordered structure.

    摘要: The invention uses an upper and lower magnetic layer of a laminated magnetic layer structure that includes an AF spacer layer that results in weak antiferromagnetic coupling of the magnetic layers that is insufficient to cause either of the layers to switch so that the magnetic orientations of the two ferromagnetic layers remain parallel. An advantage of the invention is that the AF-coupling tends to anti-correlate the noise in the two layers. The weak AF coupling according to the invention is believed to act at the transition boundaries in the media to cause some of the noise domains to be oriented antiparallel and the noise to be less correlated than would be the case without the AF coupling and thereby to achieve improved SNR.
