摘要:
A magnetic recording layer is formed on an under-layer comprising a Cu crystalline grain layer and a deposited nitrogen atom layer on the Cu crystalline grain layer surface. Then the magnetic recording layer comprising very small average grain diameter and sharp grain diameter distribution is obtained. The magnetic recording medium comprising the magnetic recording layer shows excellent signal to noise ratio at high density recording.
摘要:
A large grain diameter under-layer of at least one selected from Cu, Ni or Rh, comprising large average diameter crystalline grains of 50 nm or more than 50 nm with the (100) crystal plane of the grains oriented parallel to the substrate surface, was formed on a substrate. Then, a magnetic recording layer was deposited on the under-layer. The magnetic recording medium carrying this structure showed very small magnetic crystalline grains in magnetic layer, and excellent overwrite characteristics and signal to noise ratio at high recording density.

摘要:
A spin transfer (torque) oscillator (STO) with a non-magnetic spacer formed between a spin injection layer (SIL) and a field generation layer (FGL), and with an interfacial layer comprised of Fe(100-V)CoV where v is from 5 to 100 atomic % formed between the SIL and non-magnetic spacer is disclosed. A composite seed layer made of Ta and a metal layer having a fcc(111) or hcp(001) texture is used to enhance perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in the STO device. The interfacial layer quenches SIL oscillations and thereby stabilizes the SIL against FGL oscillations. The interfacial layer preferably has a thickness from 5 to 50 Angstroms and enhances amplitude (dR/R) in the STO device. The STO device may have a top SIL or bottom SIL configuration. The SIL is typically a laminated structure such as (Co/Ni)X where x is between 5 and 50.

摘要:
A spin valve structure for a spintronic device is disclosed and includes a composite seed layer made of at least Ta and a metal layer having a fcc(111) or hcp(001) texture to enhance perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in an overlying (Co/Ni)x multilayer. The (Co/Ni)x multilayer is deposited by a low power and high Ar pressure process to avoid damaging Co/Ni interfaces and thereby preserving PMA. As a result, only a thin seed layer is required. PMA is maintained even after annealing at 220° C. for 10 hours. Examples of GMR and TMR spin valves are described and may be incorporated in spin transfer oscillators and spin transfer MRAMs. The free layer is preferably made of a FeCo alloy including at least one of Al, Ge, Si, Ga, B, C, Se, Sn, or a Heusler alloy, or a half Heusler alloy to provide high spin polarization and a low magnetic damping coefficient.
