    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording medium, usable for either continuous or patterned media, has a recording layer structure (RLS) of first and second perpendicular magnetic layers (PM1, PM2) and an antiferromagnetically coupling (AFC) layer and a ferromagnetic switching layer (SWL) between PM1 and PM2. The magnetic recording system uses heat to assist in the reading and/or writing of data. The SWL is a Co/Ni multilayer with a Curie temperature (TC-SWL) less than the Curie temperatures of PM1 and PM2. At room temperature, there is ferromagnetic coupling between SWL and the upper ferromagnetic layer (PM2) so that the magnetizations of SWL and PM2 are parallel, and antiferromagnetic coupling between SWL and the lower ferromagnetic layer (PM1) across the AFC layer so that the magnetization of PM1 is aligned antiparallel to the magnetizations of SWL and PM2. When the SWL is heated to above TC-SWL it is no longer ferromagnetic, there is no antiferromagnetic coupling between the SWL and PM1 across the AFC layer, and the magnetizations of PM1 and PM2 become aligned parallel.

    摘要: A thermally-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a write pole tip for generating a magnetic write field in the perpendicular magnetic recording layer, a magnetic shield that confines the write field essentially to the data track to be recorded, an electrically resistive heater for heating the recording layer in the presence of the write field, and a return pole. The write pole tip width essentially defines data track width and is substantially surrounded by the magnetic shield. The shield may include side shields with ends located on opposite sides of the write pole tip and a trailing shield having an end spaced from the write pole tip. The resistive heater is wider than the data track and heats both the data track and adjacent tracks, but thermally-assisted magnetic recording occurs only in the data track because the confined magnetic field in the adjacent tracks is less than the required write field.

    摘要: A magnetic recording system, such as a magnetic recording disk drive, uses a patterned perpendicular magnetic recording medium where each magnetic block or island contains a stack of individual magnetic cells to provide multilevel recording. Each cell in an island is formed of a material or set of materials to provide the cell with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and is a single magnetic domain. Each cell is magnetically decoupled from the other cells in its island by nonmagnetic spacer layers. Thus each cell can have a magnetization (magnetic moment) in one of two directions (into or out of the plane of the layer making up the cell), and this magnetization is independent of the magnetization of the other cells in its island, This permits multiple magnetic levels or states to be recorded in each magnetic island.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive (MR) sensor can be shaped using ion beam irradiation and/or implantation through a mask introduced between a MR structure and an ion source. The mask covers selected portions of the MR structure to define the track width of the sensor. Ion irradiation and/or implantation reduces the magnetoresistance of the unmasked portions while leaving the masked portion substantially unaltered. The mask can be a photoresist mask, an electron beam resist mask, or a stencil mask. Alternatively the mask may be part of a projection ion beam system. Track width resolution is determined at the mask production step. The edges of the sensor can be defined by a highly collimated ion beam producing an extremely straight transition edge, which reduces sensor noise and improves sensor track width control. Improved hard bias layers that directly abut the sensor may be used to achieve a suitable stability. A variety of longitudinal bias schemes are compatible with ion beam patterning.

    摘要: A patterned magnetic recording disk, i.e., a disk with discrete magnetically recordable regions that can function as discrete magnetic bits, is formed by ion irradiating a continuous magnetic film of a chemically-ordered alloy having a tetragonal crystalline structure through a patterned non-contact mask. The ions cause disordering in the film and produce regions in the film that have no magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The regions of the film not impacted by the ions retain their chemical ordering and magnetocrystalline anisotropy and thus serve as the discrete magnetic regions that can be recorded as individual magnetic bits. The chemically-ordered alloy is preferably Co (or Fe) and Pt (or Pd) with the c-axis of the tetragonal crystalline film oriented at an angle less than 45 degrees relative to the plane of the film, so that after patterning the discrete magnetic regions can be recorded by horizontal magnetic recording.
