    摘要: A magnetic recording medium has a laminated magnetic structure with at least three magnetic layers, wherein the magnetic layers have decreasing intrinsic coercivity H0 with distance from the write head. The write field at the center of each magnetic layer is greater than that layer's H0. The magnetic layers have different compositions and/or thicknesses and thereby different values of H0. The alloys used in the middle and upper magnetic layers are relatively “high-moment” alloys that would not ordinarily be used in magnetic recording media because they have relatively low S0NR, but the overall S0NR of the laminated magnetic structure is improved because of the effect of lamination. The middle and upper magnetic layers can be made substantially thinner, which enables the magnetic layers to be located closer to the write head, thereby exposing each of the magnetic layers to a higher write field.

    摘要: Patterned media and associated methods of fabrication are provided in which vertical magnetic grains are grown on a patterned seed layer. The patterned seed layer includes a matrix of islands of a first seed material. Each island of first seed material is separated from other islands by a region of second seed material. The first seed material is selected to initiate growth of magnetic material, and the second seed material is selected to initiate growth of non-magnetic material. Subsequently, magnetic material is grown on the first seed material and non-magnetic material is grown on the second seed material. Deposition may be simultaneously. The magnetic and non-magnetic materials form well-defined vertical columns over the first and second seed materials respectively. Thus, each island behaves as an isolated magnetic unit, which switches independently from its neighbor units, which are magnetically separated by the non-magnetic material.

    摘要: A magnetic recording disk has an antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) structure that has an upper ferromagnetic layer (UL), and a lower ferromagnetic layer structure formed of two ferromagnetically-coupled lower layers (LL1, LL2). The UL is antiferromagnetically-coupled to the lower layer structure across an antiferromagnetically-coupling layer. LL1 and LL2 are ferromagnetically coupled across a ferromagnetic coupling layer so the magnetizations of LL1 and LL2 remain parallel in each remanent magnetic state, but are antiparallel to the magnetization of the UL in each remanent magnetic state. The UL has an Mrt greater than the sum of the Mrt values of LL1 and LL2.

    摘要: A laminated perpendicular magnetic recording medium has two recording layers (RL1 and RL2) that are separated and magnetically decoupled by a nonmagnetic spacer layer (SL). The SL has a thickness and composition to assure there is no antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic coupling between RL1 and RL2. Thus in the presence of the write field, RL1 and RL2 respond independently and become oriented with the direction of the write field. Each RL is an “exchange-spring” type magnetic recording layer formed of two ferromagnetic layers (MAG1 and MAG2) that have substantially perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and are ferromagnetically exchange-coupled by a nonmagnetic or weakly ferromagnetic coupling layer (CL). The medium takes advantage of lamination to attain higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) yet has improved writability as a result of each RL being an exchange-spring type RL.
