Recording Simulation of Patterned Media Toward 2 Tb/in

Recording simulation of bit patterned media for recording densities toward 2 Tb/in 2 was studied. The magnetic dot was modeled as 10 nm long, 15 nm wide, and 5 nm thick with m s =1000 emu/cm 3 . The dots were arranged in densities of 1-2 Tb/in 2 on a soft magnetic underlayer with a 25-nm cross track...

Description
Summary:Recording simulation of bit patterned media for recording densities toward 2 Tb/in 2 was studied. The magnetic dot was modeled as 10 nm long, 15 nm wide, and 5 nm thick with m s =1000 emu/cm 3 . The dots were arranged in densities of 1-2 Tb/in 2 on a soft magnetic underlayer with a 25-nm cross track pitch. A head field of a shielded planar head with a pole size of 14times45 nm 2 and a head-medium spacing of 6 nm was used. When the switching timing of the head field was properly chosen, a 2 Tb/in 2 pattern was successfully recorded on a track but the obtained switching window was only 2.5 nm due to increased magnetostatic interaction between the dots. Introduction of the exchange coupling between the neighboring dots by connecting the dots was found to increase the switching window up to 6 nm along with an increase in cross track shift margin
