    摘要: A process of fabricating a perpendicular magnetic recording medium. In one embodiment, the process may comprise forming a metallic buffer layer with a (002) texture on an underlayer using a deposition process performed at a temperature below 30° C. The underlayer may have a crystalline (001) texture. The process may further comprise forming a perpendicular magnetic recording layer on top of the metallic buffer layer using a deposition process performed at a temperature above 350° C. The magnetic recording layer may comprise a magnetic material with a L10 crystalline structure and with a c-axis perpendicular to a plane of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer. The process may further comprise removing metal of the metallic buffer layer from a top surface of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer that moved to the top surface of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer during the forming of the perpendicular magnetic recording layer.

    摘要: A magnetic microstructure comprising (i) a magnetic storage layer having a magnetic easy axis perpendicular to a film plane of the storage magnetic layer; (ii) a magnetic assist layer having a magnetic easy axis in the film plane; and (iii) a phase transition interlayer between the magnetic storage layer and the magnetic assist layer. The phase transition layer comprises a material, such as FeRh, that switches from antiferromagnetic at ambient to ferromagnetic at a transition temperature that is greater than ambient, but below the Curie temperature. When the phase transition interlayer is in antiferromagnetic phase, there exists little magnetic coupling between the storage and assist layers. When the interlayer changes to ferromagnetic phase, the interlayer couples the magnetic moments of the storage and assist layer ferromagnetically. If the anisotropy field-thickness product of the two layers is similar and the coupling is sufficiently strong, the effective magnetic anisotropy of the storage layer and the assist layer essentially vanishes. That way, the required write field at the recording temperature needs only to be a few percent of the ambient anisotropy field of the storage layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides for magnetic and magneto-optic recording media, transducers and data storage devices constructed therefrom that have highly oriented films having long range order in the crystal structure of the film. The recording medium includes a magnetic recording layer comprised of Co-based material, such as Co or one or more Co alloys having a (10{overscore (1)}0) crystal texture, a substrate, a first underlayer having a fcc structure and a (110) crystal texture disposed between the substrate and the magnetic recording layer. A second underlayer having a bcc structure and a (112) crystal texture is also disposed between the magnetic recording layer and the first underlayer. In particular, if a (110) Si single crystal substrate is non-oxidized certain metals having fcc structures, such as Ag, Cu, Al, and Au and fcc derivative structures, such L10 and L12 structures, can be epitaxially grown on the Si surface. While the one unit cell to one unit cell lattice match between fcc Ag and A4 (diamond) Si is quite poor, multiples of the Ag unit cell distance fit very well on the Si surface. The long range order of the Si surface induces the epitaxial growth of the Ag fcc structure. Upon this fcc structure, a bcc structure, such as Cr, or a bcc derivative, such as B2, DO3 and/or L21 can be epitaxially grown.
