    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording layer of a magnetic recording medium includes a plurality of bit-patterned magnetic islands, wherein each of the plurality of islands overlay a soft magnetic under-layer. Each of the magnetic islands includes a first magnetic sub-layer adjacent a second magnetic sub-layer, wherein the first sub-layer has a relatively high magnetic anisotropy that is greater than a magnetic anisotropy of the second sub-layer. The magnetic recording layer further includes a third sub-layer, which extends to connect each of the plurality of islands. The third sub-layer may have a magnetic anisotropy that is less than that of the second sub-layer of each of the magnetic islands and/or may serve as an interlayer, extending between the first sub-layer and the soft magnetic under-layer of the recording medium, and having a structure to help to produce the greater anisotropy first magnetic sub-layer.

    摘要: A method for making a bit-patterned-media magnetic recording disk with discrete magnetic islands includes annealing the data islands after they have been formed by an etching process. A hard mask, such as a layer of silicon nitride or carbon, may be first formed on the recording layer and a patterned resist formed on the hard mask. The resist pattern is then transferred into the hard mask, which is used as the etch mask to etch the recording layer and form the discrete data islands. After the data islands are formed by the etching process, the patterned recording layer is annealed. The annealing may be done in a vacuum, or in an inert gas, like helium or argon, or in a forming gas such as a reducing atmosphere of argon plus hydrogen. The annealing improves the coercivity, the effective saturation magnetization and the thermal stability of the patterned media.

    摘要: A silicon/gold (Si/Au) bilayer seed structure is located in a film stack between an amorphous or crystalline lower layer and an upper layer with a well-defined crystalline structure. The seed structure includes a Si layer on the generally flat surface of the lower layer and a Au layer on the Si layer. The Si/Au interface initiates the growth of the Au layer with a face-centered-cubic (fcc) crystalline structure with the (111) plane oriented in-plane. The upper layer grown on the Au layer has a fcc or hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) crystalline structure. If the upper layer is a fcc material its [111] direction is oriented substantially perpendicular to the (111) plane of the Au layer and if the upper layer is a hcp material, its c-axis is oriented substantially perpendicular to the (111) plane of the Au layer.

    摘要: A magnetic media for magnetic data recording having a plurality of magnetic grains protected by thin layers of graphitic carbon. The layers of graphitic carbon are formed in a manner similar to onion skins on an onion and can be constructed as single monatomic layers of carbon. The thin layers of graphitic carbon can be formed as layers of graphene or as fullerenes that either cover or partially encapsulate the magnetic gains. The layers of graphitic carbon provide excellent protection against corrosion and wear and greatly reduce magnetic spacing for improved magnetic performance.
