Double layer perpendicular media and a single-pole type perpendicular head were employed in a 2.5\" HDD along with a channel featuring differential equalization. As a result of the integration test, it was confirmed that perpendicular recording 2.5\" HDDs functioned sufficiently as prototype drives with a capacity of 30 GB/pl or 52 Gbits/in/sup 2/ in terms of recording density. In looking thoroughly at the read/write performance of perpendicular recording through the drive integration study, some fundamental behavior and features have been identified. When we compared them side by side with those of familiar longitudinal recording system, it is revealed that, in drive integration mode, perpendicular recording and longitudinal recording showed a complementary relationship.","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.

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.

Recently, the grain size of the recording layer is required to be very small for high-density recording, therefore the thermal stability of the recorded bit is becoming a critical issue. The magnetic anisotropy should be improved to keep the thermal stability of the recording layer which consists of small grains. The addition of the Pt element and a decrease of Cr content are required in the CoCr-alloy. This, however, results in higher medium noise due to increasing inter-granular exchange coupling. In this paper, the effects of Cr content on the magnetic and recording properties in post-annealed CoCrPt-alloy perpendicular media were investigated. The post-annealing treatment is expected to enhance Cr diffusion into the CoCrPt grain boundary from a nonmagnetic CoCr intermediate layer.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.
