摘要:
A magnetic recording medium is formed with a distribution of low coercivity regions functioning as a transition pattern for servo information capable of being sensed by a read/write head by exposing a masked magnetic layer to ions to change the coercivity of the exposed magnetic layer without substantially affecting the topography of the magnetic layer.Embodiments of the present invention include forming a series of substantially radially extending low coercivity regions used to divide the magnetic layer into a plurality of sectors comprising substantially concentric circumferentially extending data tracks by exposing a masked magnetic layer having a high coercivity, i.e. from about 2000 Oe to about 10000 Oe, to one or more heavy atom ion bombardments of gaseous ions, e.g. argon ions, at a dose of about 1×1013 atoms/cm2 to about 9×1015 atoms/cm2 having an implantation energy of about 10 KeV to about 50 KeV.

摘要:
A perfluoropolyether lubricant topcoat having at least one end-group having an epoxide ring is applied to a magnetic recording medium. Post-lubing treatment, such as ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation, of the perfluoropolyether lubricant topcoat initiates chemical bonding between the epoxide end-group and the medium surface. The lubricant of the present invention provides improved tribological performance over conventional lubricants.
摘要:
A scratch erasure resistant perpendicular magnetic recording medium comprises a non-magnetic substrate having a surface, and a layer stack formed over the surface and comprising: (i) at least one magnetically hard perpendicular magnetic recording layer; and (ii) at least one low shear modulus layer comprising at least one material having a shear modulus not greater than about 30 GPa. Preferably, the at least one magnetically hard perpendicular magnetic recording layer includes at least a first layer comprised of a magnetic material having a hexagonal close packed (hcp) crystal structure and preferred basal plane crystallographic orientation with c-axis perpendicular to a surface thereof.
摘要:
A method of texturing the surface of a CSS/landing zone of a substrate for a magnetic recording medium, comprising steps of: (a) providing a disk-shaped substrate having a surface; (b) providing a patterned mask in overlying relation to the substrate surface, (c) selectively implanting ions in portions of the surface of the CSS/landing zone exposed by the patterned mask openings, whereby the height of the selectively ion-implanted portions is increased or decreased relative to the height of non-ion-implanted portions of the CSS/landing zone to form bumps or depressions, thereby providing the surface of the CSS/landing zone with a texture for reducing stiction and friction when the medium is used with a low flying height read/write transducer. Embodiments of the invention include hard disk magnetic recording media with textured CSS/landing zones produced by the inventive ion implation methodology.

摘要:
A servo-patterned magnetic recording medium, comprising: a magnetic layer having a surface with substantially uniform topography, the magnetic layer including a data zone and a servo pattern, the servo pattern comprising: (a) a first patterned plurality of regions of first, higher values of magnetic coercivity Hc and magnetic remanence-thickness product Mrt; and (b) a second patterned plurality of ion-implanted regions of second, lower values of Hc. and Mrt; wherein the second, lower values of Hc and Mrt are sufficiently lower than the first, higher values of Hc and Mrt as to permit sensing for enabling accurate positioning of a read/write transducer head in the data zone but sufficiently high for providing the medium with thermal stability, high amplitude of magnetic transition, and high signal-to-noise ratio.
