    摘要: A recording medium providing improved writeability in perpendicular recording applications includes a magnetic recording layer having an axis of magnetic anisotropy substantially perpendicular to the surface thereof, an exchange-spring layer ferromagnetically exchange coupled to the magnetic recording layer and having a coercivity less than the magnetic recording layer coercivity, and a coupling layer between the magnetic recording layer and the exchange-spring layer. The coupling layer regulates the ferromagnetic exchange coupling between the magnetic recording layer and the exchange-spring layer.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium has an “exchange-spring” type magnetic recording layer (RL) formed of two ferromagnetic layers with substantially similar anisotropy fields that are ferromagnetically exchange-coupled by a nonmagnetic or weakly ferromagnetic coupling layer. Because the write head produces a larger magnetic field and larger field gradient at the upper portion of the RL, while the field strength decreases further inside the RL, the upper ferromagnetic layer can have a high anisotropy field. The high field and field gradient near the top of the RL, where the upper ferromagnetic layer is located, reverses the magnetization of the upper ferromagnetic layer, which then assists in the magnetization reversal of the lower ferromagnetic layer. Because both ferromagnetic layers in this exchange-spring type RL have a high anisotropy field, the thermal stability of the medium is not compromised. The medium shows improved writability, i.e., a low switching field, as well as lower intrinsic media noise, over a medium with a conventional single-layer RL.

    摘要: The invention includes a disk drive with a magnetic recording disk with an upper and lower sublayer in at least one magnetic layer of a laminated magnetic layer structure that includes a spacer layer that substantially decouples the magnetic layers. The lower sublayer has a lower boron content than the upper sublayer and a preferred embodiment is CoPtCrBTa. The upper sublayer is deposited onto the lower sublayer and is preferably CoPtCrB with a higher boron content than the lower sublayer. The composition of the lower sublayer gives it a very low moment with low intrinsic coercivity which would not be useful as a recording layer on its own. The upper sublayer is a higher moment alloy with high intrinsic coercivity. An embodiment of the invention includes a laminated magnetic layer structure which is antiferromagnetically coupled to a lower ferromagnetic layer.

    摘要: A laminate structure is disclosed comprising multiple ferromagnetic layers achieving incoherent reversal while maintaining good SNR. A high magnetic moment density, low anisotropy field material may form a thin overlayer deposited over a high-anisotropy media layer. The media layer may have a lower magnetic moment density than the overlayer and have decoupled magnetic grains. A coupling layer may be interposed between the overlayer and the media layer to modulate the exchange there between, thereby reducing the pass-through of noise while still promoting incoherent reversal to achieve reduced write energy requirements.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention is a layered magnetic thin film structure that uses antiferromagnetically coupled (AFC) magnetic layers where the top layer structure consists of an upper magnetic layer that is weakly ferromagnetically coupled via a nonmagnetic or weakly magnetic exchange coupling layer (interlayer) to a ferromagnetic exchange enhancing layer that is in turn, AF coupled to the lower ferromagnetic layer of the AFC structure. Preferred materials for the weak coupling layer include alloys of cobalt such as CoRu, CoBRu and CoCr in which the Co content is below the point at which the material would be ferromagnetic. A second embodiment of the invention is a laminated, AF-coupled media structure. In this structure the lower AFC layer that makes up the lower laminate layer includes: the middle magnetic layer, the weak ferromagnetic coupling layer, and the exchange enhancing layer.

    摘要: A magnetic recording medium has a laminated magnetic structure with at least three magnetic layers, wherein the magnetic layers have decreasing intrinsic coercivity H0 with distance from the write head. The write field at the center of each magnetic layer is greater than that layer's H0. The magnetic layers have different compositions and/or thicknesses and thereby different values of H0. The alloys used in the middle and upper magnetic layers are relatively “high-moment” alloys that would not ordinarily be used in magnetic recording media because they have relatively low S0NR, but the overall S0NR of the laminated magnetic structure is improved because of the effect of lamination. The middle and upper magnetic layers can be made substantially thinner, which enables the magnetic layers to be located closer to the write head, thereby exposing each of the magnetic layers to a higher write field.
