This novel approach enabled us to produce narrow tracks with varying widths without using special heads. We measured the jitter of microtracks, verified jitter dependence on the effective reader width and established the areal density relationship with BAR.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

This principal feature is a great advantage not only for granular type media but also laterally exchange-coupled (LEC) film media with enhanced wall-pinning effects. Recently, it has been first reported that larger M/sub s/ and K/sub u/, high density pinning sites, and thinner recording layer of LEC film media are effective for coexistence of a larger hysteresis loop slope parameter, /spl alpha/, and a smaller domain size. Thus, higher recording and reproducing resolutions and lower media noise are expected to be realized by the media. Since an ordered Fe-Pt alloy of L1/sub 0/ phase satisfies the requirements for the LEC film media, we discuss the potential of thinner Fe-Pt film media for perpendicular magnetic recording.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

In perpendicular recording, the nature of ATI is more complex due to the novel head designs and the soft underlayer. ATI arises when stray fields from the sides of a head cause erasure or create interference on an adjacent track. To uncover the sources of ATI in perpendicular systems, we developed a method using DC erase noise to identify the polarity as well as the extent and magnitude of the stray fields. This paper extends this earlier work to explain some of the puzzling phenomena that were observed and explores further the general ATI issues such as rate of signal decay with multiple writes and ultimately the impact on error-rate.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

Poulsen in 1898 is the history of continuous development that has migrated from wires to tapes to disks. From the historical view of the magnetic recording, it was deduced that an invention needs more than 20 years before its worldwide application and that major technological innovations take place with a periodicity of about 40 years. The latter period would be related to the generation change. The change from in-plane to perpendicular magnetic recording system seems very reasonable from the historical view. The technology should play a fundamental role in information storage systems in the first half of 21st century.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

The thermal stability is typically characterized by measuring the time dependence of the coercivity or by measuring the magnetization decay as a function of the reverse field after saturation. The relaxation is usually given in terms of a magnetic viscosity coefficient. The viscosity is usually greatest near the coercivity, and for large thermal stability factors, it is usually very small in zero applied field. We have recently reported zero field relaxation (ZFR) measurements in a variety of films, including longitudinal media, perpendicular media, and particulate films The measurements were made in zero field as a function of the initial remanent magnetization obtained after applying a saturation-reverse-zero field sequence.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

In looking thoroughly at the read/write performance of perpendicular recording through the drive integration study, some fundamental behavior and features have been identified.
