    摘要: Solid-state memories are disclosed that are comprised of cross-point memory arrays. The cross-point memory arrays include a first plurality of electrically conductive lines and a second plurality of electrically conductive lines that cross over the first plurality of electrically conductive lines. The memory arrays also include a plurality of memory cells located between the first and second conductive lines. The memory cells are formed from a metallic material, such as FeRh, having the characteristic of a first order phase transition due to a change in temperature. The first order phase transition causes a corresponding change in resistivity of the metallic material.

    摘要: A magnetic recording medium for thermally-assisted recording is a bilayer of a high-coercivity, high-anisotropy ferromagnetic material like FePt and a switching material like FeRh or Fe(RhM) (where M is Ir, Pt, Ru, Re or Os) that exhibits a switch from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic at a transition temperature less than the Curie temperature of the high-coercivity material. The high-coercivity recording layer and the switching layer are exchange coupled ferromagnetically when the switching layer is in its ferromagnetic state. To write data the bilayer medium is heated above the transition temperature of the switching layer. When the switching layer becomes ferromagnetic, the total magnetization of the bilayer is increased, and consequently the switching field required to reverse a magnetized bit is decreased without lowering the anisotropy of the recording layer. The magnetic bit pattern is recorded in both the recording layer and the switching layer. When the media is cooled to below the transition temperature of the switching layer, the switching layer becomes antiferromagnetic and the bit pattern remains in the high-anisotropy recording layer.

    摘要: A recording medium according to the invention has a magnetic recording layer with an L10 magnetic material deposited with a (111) preferred orientation and soft underlayer (SUL). One set of embodiments includes an intermediate layer (seed layer or underlayer) between the L10 media and SUL. The intermediate layer can be a close-packed surface structure (triangular lattice) to promote (111) orientation of the L10 media. For example, the intermediate layer can be a (111) oriented, face-centered-cubic (fcc) material such as platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, FePt, FePd, or FePdPt alloys; or the intermediate layer can be a (100) oriented hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) material such as ruthenium, rhenium, or osmium. Alternatively, the intermediate layer can be an amorphous material. The L10 recording layer of the invention can be deposited with a matrix material to form grain boundaries and provide magnetic isolation of the grains of L10 material.

    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: A horizontal magnetic recording medium that has as its magnetic film a granular film with grains of a chemically-ordered FePt or FePtX (or CoPt or CoPtX) alloy in the tetragonal L1.sub.0 structure uses an etched seed layer beneath the granular film. The granular magnetic film reveals a very high magnetocrystalline anisotropy within the individual grains. The film is produced by sputtering from a single alloy target or cosputtering from several targets. The granular structure and the chemical ordering are controlled by means of sputter parameters, e.g., temperature and deposition rate, and by the use of the etched seed layer that provides a structure for the subsequently sputter-deposited granular magnetic film. The structure of the seed layer is obtained by sputter etching, plasma etching, ion irradiation, or laser irradiation. The magnetic properties, i.e., H.sub.c and areal moment density M.sub.r t, are controlled by the granularity (grain size and grain distribution), the degree of chemical ordering, and the addition of one or more nonmagnetic materials, such as Cr, Ag, Cu, Ta, or B. The resulting granular magnetic film has magnetic properties suitable for application in high-density, horizontal magnetic recording media.
