A longitudinal magnetic recording medium formed on a non-metallic substrate and a method of forming the medium is disclosed. A sublayer formed of a chromium alloy having a thickness between 3-50 .ANG. is deposited on the substrate, followed by a chromium-based underlayer. A cobalt-based magnetic recording layer is sputtered over the underlayer. The medium is characterized by improved coercivity, HF signal amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio.

A magnetic thin-film media with high coercivity and low noise characteristics is disclosed. The medium has a gradient-composition thin-film magnetic layer in which a lowermost stratum is composed of a first alloy, preferably, having relatively low noise and low magnetic remanence characteristics, and an uppermost stratum composed of a second alloy having relatively high noise and high magnetic remanence characteristics. The medium is characterized by a coercivity which is substantially greater, and a media noise which is substantially less than that of a similar medium whose magnetic thin-film layer is composed of either the first or second alloy alone. Also disclosed is a method of producing such a medium.
摘要:
A target assembly for use in a magnetron sputtering apparatus having a source of a magnetic field. The apparatus includes an annular sputtering target, and inner and outer poles surrounding the target, defining inner and outer confronting walls which extend beyond the target surface, for conducting magnetic flux across the target. These confronting walls are lined with inner and outer confronting target rings. The annual target and target rings may have different compositions, for use in forming sputtered films with a gradient composition.

A flying-type composite magnetic head includes a slider made of a non-magnetic ceramic and having side rails extending longitudinally on both lateral sides of the head; a slit extending longitudinally in one of the side rails; and a magnetic core constituted by a pair of core pieces bonded to each other with a first glass and fixed in the slit with a second glass on both sides of the core. At least one of the opposing surfaces of the core pieces is formed with an Fe-Al-Si thin layer and the opposing surfaces of the core pieces constitute a magnetic gap of the magnetic core. Gaps formed on both sides of the magnetic core in a region exposed to an air-bearing surface of the head are filled with the second glass to improve the flatness of the air-bearing surface of the head.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and program for driving a motor in a feedback control system, capable of suppressing oscillation of the motor are disclosed. A motor drive controller includes a drive motor, a detector, and a motor drive controller. The drive motor drives a moving body around a target moving speed. The detector detects a current moving speed of the moving body and output it as a detector pulse signal. The controller calculates a difference between the current moving speed and the target moving speed, calculates a control value based on the difference, calculates a pulse rate of a drive pulse signal based on the control value after having controlled the control value to be within a predetermined value, and feedback controls the drive motor based on the pulse rate.
