摘要:
The invention includes improving or enhancing exchange coupling within a thin film layer. The improvement or enhancement to the exchange coupling occurs between the grains that are deposited to form the thin film. The improvement or enhancement to the exchange coupling between the grains of the thin film results from annealing the thin film at an elevated temperature for a period of time. A thin film structure and/or a magnetic recording layer made in accordance with the invention are disclosed.

A method of fabricating a magnetic storage medium comprises: forming an underlayer on a heat sink layer; co-sputtering a magnetic material and a thermally insulating nonmagnetic material to form a recording layer on the underlayer, wherein the recording layer includes grains of the magnetic material in a matrix of the thermally insulating nonmagnetic material; and heating the recording layer to align an easy axis of magnetization of the magnetic material in a direction perpendicular to the underlayer. A magnetic storage medium fabricated using the method is also provided.

摘要:
A tilted magnetic recording medium comprises a layer of magnetic material having a magnetic easy axis defined by tilted alignment of a particular crystalline phase of the magnetic material. A film of (101) and (011) textured L10 phase of a tetragonal crystalline magnetic material has crystalline c-axes oriented 45° to the medium surface normal. The L10 crystalline magnetic alloy comprises a first element selected from the group consisting of Co and Fe, and a second element selected from the group consisting of Pt and Pd. A seedlayer comprising a bcc or B2 crystal structure with a natural texture of (110) creates interfacial stress with the magnetic layer, giving rise to a pure (101) and (011) textured L10 crystalline film. A textured underlying surface facilitates preferential formation of the seedlayer and subsequent growth of the magnetic material to achieve tilted magnetic directions perpendicular to the recording tracks.
