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.

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.

A perpendicular magnetic recording medium, such as a perpendicular magnetic recording disk, has a magnetic “torque” layer (MTL) that exerts a magnetic torque onto the perpendicular magnetic recording layer (RL) in the presence of the applied perpendicular write field. The MTL thus acts as a write assist layer in reversing the magnetization of the RL. A coupling layer (CL) is located between the MTL and the RL and provides the appropriate ferromagnetic coupling strength between the MTL and the RL.
摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes a metamagnetic antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) layer between the recording layer (RL) and the soft magnetically permeable underlayer (SUL). The metamagnetic AFC layer has essentially no net magnetic moment in the absence of a magnetic field, but is highly ferromagnetic in the presence of a magnetic field above a threshold field. Thus the metamagnetic AFC layer does not contribute to the readback signal during reading, but channels the write field to the SUL during writing because the threshold field is selected to be below the write field. An exchange-break layer EBL is located between the metamagnetic AFC layer and the RL. The metamagnetic AFC layer contains films with a crystalline structure suitable as a growth template for the EBL and RL, so the metamagnetic AFC layer also functions as part of an “effective EBL”, thereby allowing the actual EBL to be made as thin as possible.
摘要:
A perpendicular magnetic recording media is provided having an imbalanced magnetic moment multilayer cap. The perpendicular magnetic recording media comprises a granular layer, and a multilayer cap structure exchange coupled to the granular layer. The multilayer cap structure includes upper and lower magnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic layer, where the upper magnetic layer has a magnetic moment greater than the lower magnetic layer. When an external field is applied to the recording media, a larger moment torque is triggered at the surface, and more efficient switching is facilitated. The upper magnetic layer may have a higher magnetic moment than the lower magnetic layer if the upper magnetic layer comprises a larger magnetic moment material than the lower magnetic layer. The upper magnetic layer may also have a higher magnetic moment than the lower magnetic layer if the upper magnetic layer has a greater thickness than the lower magnetic layer.
