    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: A perpendicular magnetic recording disk has a soft magnetic underlayer (SUL) that has high corrosion resistance as well as high moment. The material of the SUL is an alloy comprising Co, Fe, X, and Y; where X is Ta or Nb, Y is Zr or Hf, and the combined amount of X and Y present in the alloy is between about 10 and 20 atomic percent. The atomic ratio of Co to Fe in the alloy is between about 90:10 to 10:90, preferably between about 25:75 and 35:65. The SUL may be a single-layer SUL or a multilayer SUL formed of multiple soft magnetic layers separated by an interlayer film or films.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording disk has an improved recording layer of a granular CoPtCr-based ferromagnetic alloy with inter-granular material made up of one or more oxides of Cr and one or more oxides of one or more of a segregant of Si, Ta, Ti, B, Nb or Hf, wherein the amount of oxygen present in the recording layer is greater than about 22 atomic percent and less than about 35 atomic percent. The amount of oxygen in the recording layer is substantially greater than the amount required for the stoichiometric oxide or oxides of the segregant or segregants, and a substantial portion of the oxygen present in the recording layer is present in the inter-granular material. The recording layer exhibits high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a coercivity Hc greater than about 5000 Oe and a nucleation field Hn greater (more negative) than about −1500 Oe.
