摘要： An electronic device employing a graphene layer as a charge carrier layer. The graphene layer is sandwiched between layers that are constructed of a material having a highly ordered crystalline structure and a high dielectric constant. The highly ordered crystalline structure of the layers surrounding the graphene layer has low density of charged defects that can lead to scattering of charge carriers in the graphene layer. The high dielectric constant of the layers surrounding the graphene layer also prevents charge carrier scattering by minimizing interaction between the charge carriers and the changed defects in the surrounding layers. An interracial layer constructed of a thin, non-polar, dielectric material can also be provided between the graphene layer and each of the highly ordered crystalline high dielectric constant layers to minimize charge carrier scattering in the graphene layer through remote interfacial phonons.

摘要： A thermally-assisted recording (TAR) disk has an improved insulating layer beneath the chemically-ordered FePt (or CoPt) alloy recording layer. The insulating layer is a solid substitution crystalline alloy MgXO, where the element X is selected from nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co). The composition of the MgXO crystalline solid substitutional alloy is of the form (Mg(100-y)Xy)O where y is between 10 and 90, and more preferably between 20 and 80. An optional layer of crystalline “pure” MgO may be located between the MgXO layer and the FePt recording layer and in contact with the recording layer, or between an underlayer and the MgXO 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.

摘要： A graphene magnetic field sensor has a ferromagnetic biasing layer located beneath and in close proximity to the graphene sense layer. The sensor includes a suitable substrate, the ferromagnetic biasing layer, the graphene sense layer, and an electrically insulating underlayer between the ferromagnetic biasing layer and the graphene sense layer. The underlayer may be a hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) layer, and the sensor may include a seed layer to facilitate the growth of the h-BN underlayer. The ferromagnetic biasing layer has perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with its magnetic moment oriented substantially perpendicular to the plane of the layer. The graphene magnetic field sensor based on the extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) effect may function as the magnetoresistive read head in a magnetic recording disk drive.

摘要： A method of making a thermally-assisted recording (TAR) disk includes etching an initial layer of generally spherically shaped FePt grains encapsulated by shells of graphitic carbon layers. The etching partially or completely removes the carbon layers on the tops of the shells, exposing the FePt grains while leaving carbon segregant material between the FePt grains. Additional Fe, Pt and C are then simultaneously deposited. The additional Fe and Pt grow on the exposed FePt grains and increase the vertical height of the grains, resulting in growth of columnar FePt grains. The additional C forms on top of the grains that together with the intergranular carbon form larger carbon shells. The resulting FePt grains thus have a generally columnar shape with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, rather than a generally spherical shape. Lateral grain isolation is maintained by the carbon segregant remaining between the grains.

摘要： A magnetic field sensor employing a graphene sense layer, wherein the Lorentz force acting on charge carriers traveling through the sense layer causes a change in path of charge carriers traveling through the graphene layer. This change in path can be detected indicating the presence of a magnetic field. The sensor includes one or more gate electrodes that are separated from the graphene layer by a non-magnetic, electrically insulating material. The application of a gate voltage to the gate electrode alters the electrical resistance of the graphene layer and can be used to control the sensitivity and speed of the sensor.
