Micromagnetic modelling plays an important role in the design and analysis of recording systems and within any such calculation it is necessary to have accurate data on the magnetic field produced by the head. Numerical finite element and finite difference calculations are computationally intensive, particularly in 3D, but progress is now being made with 3D analytic models which take the magnetic underlayer into account. This paper reports on progress in that direction and in particular considers the geometry of a double-shielded perpendicular single pole head.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

However, currently perpendicular recording is lagging longitudinal recording in terms of areal density by almost a factor of two. It is generally believed that the lack of optimized perpendicular head and media is hindering the progress of perpendicular recording in spite of its theoretical advantages. Recently, so-called oxide perpendicular media have become available. In such media, the perpendicularly oriented magnetic grains are physically isolated, e.g., in a SiO/sub 2/ phase, thus ensuring magnetic decoupling between the grains. This paper compares the recording performance of conventional and oxide perpendicular media, showing that the latter hold the promise of bridging the gap to longitudinal recording.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.

Peng","doi":"10.1109/NAPMRC.2003.1177019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NAPMRC.2003.1177019","url":null,"abstract":"Recording media experience the superparamagnetic effect as a fundamental limit. To achieve a maximum signal-to-noise ratio, SNR, the grains in the media need to be as small as possible. Very small grains are susceptible to thermal instabilities if the magnetic energy that resists magnetization reversal, is too small when compared to the thermal energy. Within the constraint of thermal stability and write-ability, the SNR of longitudinal media can no longer be advanced significantly. These difficulties have prompted a renewed interest in perpendicular recording. Perpendicular recording faces the same fundamental problem: the generation of SNR under the constraint of adequate write-ability and thermal stability. The most promising design of a perpendicular recording system uses a magnetically soft underlayer (SUL), which enhances the recording field. A proper analysis of the two recording modes, longitudinal and perpendicular recording with a pole head, is very complex and has been attempted recently. The analysis has shown that the recording potential of the two modes is roughly similar, although it has to be remarked that perpendicular recording media are more exchange tolerant than longitudinal media and hence it may be conjectured that more of the recording potential can be achieved in practice. To accomplish extremely high-density recording, it is therefore required to achieve a high recording field together with a more favorable recording geometry.","PeriodicalId":111090,"journal":{"name":"Joint NAPMRC 2003.
