Nonlinear transition shift (NLTS) produced by the interaction between transitions is a major
source of distortions in magnetic recording. NLTS must be reduced to realize higher density …

In this paper, we present a systematic micromagnetic modeling investigation on the
segmented perpendicular thin film media. Segmented medium with inserted exchange …

A combined set of experimental and theoretical diffraction studies are performed to evaluate
the possible impact of stacking faults on magnetic anisotropy using epitaxially grown Co/Ru …

Future magnetic recording media require firm control of the microstructure particularly with
uniform grain size at the nanometer scale. Using self-assembling block copolymers as an …

A method to evaluate the intergranular exchange coupling constant J EX in thin films with
perpendicular anisotropy, based on first order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams, is proposed …

We report ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiments on thin magnetic Co layers either
sandwiched symmetrically between Cu and Pt, or sandwiched asymmetrically between a Cu …

CoPt films have been grown in the past with a high anisotropy in L1 1 or L1 0 phase, and a
high coercivity is observed only in L1 0 CoPt films. Recently, we have grown CoPt films …

New methodology to obtain reliable correlation between magnetic cluster details measured
using magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and noise in perpendicular recording media is …

First order reversal curves (FORC) method has been reported to be an efficient tool to study
interaction between grains and layers of magnetic materials. Although a few studies have …

Angle-dependent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism at the Co L 2.3 edges has been utilized
to systematically study Co 80 Pt 20: WO 3 perpendicular magnetic recording thin films, in …
