    摘要: A method and apparatus for optically determining a physical parameter of an underlayer such as the underlayer refractive index N.sub.u, extinction coefficient k.sub.u and/or thickness t.sub.u through a top layer having a first top layer thickness t.sub.1 and an assigned refractive index index n.sub.t and coefficient of extinction k.sub.t. The values of index n.sub.t and extinction coefficient k.sub.t can be estimated, optically determined or assigned based on prior knowledge. In a subsequent step a first reflectance R.sub.1 is measured over a wavelength range .DELTA..lambda. by using a test beam spanning that wavelength range. Then, a second reflectance R.sub.2 of the top layer and underlayer is measured using the test beam spanning wavelength range .DELTA..lambda. at a second top layer thickness t.sub.2. In a calculation step the physical parameter of the underlayer is determined from the first reflectance measurement R.sub.1, the second reflectance measurement R.sub.2, and the assigned or predetermined thickness values t.sub.1, t.sub.2, and the refractive index n.sub.t. and coefficient of extinction k.sub.t of the top layer. A dispersion model can be used in this calculation step. Alternatively, with transmissive samples, a first and second transmittance T.sub.1, T.sub.2 can be used.

    摘要: Aspects are directed to recording media with enhanced magnetic properties for improved writability. Examples can be included or related to methods, systems and components that allow for improved writability while reducing defects so as to obtain uniform magnetic properties such as uniformly high anisotropy and narrow switching field distribution. Some examples include a recording medium with an exchange tuning layer inserted between the hard layer and the soft, semi-soft or thin semi-hard layer so as to maximize the writability improvement of the media. Preferably, the exchange tuning layer is granular and reduces or optimizes the vertical coupling between the hard layer and the soft, semi-soft or semi-hard layer of a magnetic recording or storing device.
