  • The Co-Cr thin films are one of the most suitable candidates for perpendicular magnetic recording media. The facing targets sputtering(FTS) method has a advantage of preparing films over a wide range of working gas pressure on plasma-free substrates. In this study, we investigated the possibility of employing FTS system for depositing Co-Cr films, Co-Cr thin films were deposited with continuously sputter gas pressure ($P_{Ar}$ = 0.1 mTorr) by FTS method at temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. We find that the change of thickness and deposition rate of sputtered Co-Cr thin films affect crystal orientation and magnetic properties. Crystallographic and magnetic properties were evaluated by x-ray diffractometry(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) respectively. It has been confirmed that the FTS method is very useful for preparing Co-Cr thin film recording media.

  • Equiatomic FePt and CoPt alloy thin films have received considerable attention as possible magnetic and magneto-optic recording because of their high magnetic anisotropy energy and high coercivity. The high coercivity in these thin films is due to the presence of finely dispersed ordered FePt phase mixed with disordered FePt phase. However, a high temperature treatment, either substrate heating during deposition or post annealing, is needed to obtain the ordered L1$\_$0/ phase with high value of magneto crystalline anisotropy. Recent microstructural studies on these films suggest that the average grain size ranges from 10-50 nm and the grains are magnetically coupled between each other. On the other hand, the ultrahigh-density magnetic recording media with low media noise imposes the need of a material, which consists of magnetically isolated grains with size below 10 nm. The magnetic grain isolation can be controlled by the amount of additional non-magnetic element in the system which determines the interparticle separation and therefore the interparticle interactions. Recently, much research work has been done on various non-magnetic matrices. Preliminary studies showed that the samples prepared in B$_2$O$_3$ and Carbon matrices have shown strong perpendicular anisotropy and fine grain size down to 4nm, which suggest these nanocomposite films are very promising and may lead to the realization of a magnetic medium capable of recording densities beyond 1 Tb/in$^2$. So, in this work, the effect of Carbon doping on the magnetic properties of FePt nanoparticles were investigated.

  • In this paper, Co-Cr thin films which are known for a excellent perpendicular magnetic recording media were prepared. Changing target- substrate distance, Ar gas pressure and arriving atoms, the incident angle and c-axis orientation properties by using the facing targets sputtering system. We evaluated the c-axis dispersion angle by measu ring half-height width with Micro area X-Ray Diffractometer, measured the thickness of thin film with Ellipsometer. The magnetic properties were compared measuring in-plane squareness and perpendicular coercivity with vibrating sample Magnetometer.

  • This paper proposes a density method based topology optimization of a perpendicular magnetic recording system design in which the saturation effect is taken into account. During the topology optimization process in magnetic fields, the magnetic reluctivity is updated in accordance with the changes in element density determined by a sensitivity analysis. The magnetic reluctivity is determined from a B-H curve and is used to represent nonlinear material property, i.e., the saturation effect. The sensitivity for a generalized response functional is formulated using the adjoint variable method in which the nonlinear property is taken into account and the objective function is set such that the magnetic energy in the media is maximized. Effects due to the nonlinear property can be observed from a numerical study in which the linear and the nonlinear topology optimization results are compared.

  • Since the major reason of the detection failure is from the consecutive data transitions, it is desirable to limit the MTR(maximum transition run) within two. Therefore, we propose a new MTR code that limits the MTR constraint to 2 and k-constraint to 8. In addition, DC-free coding is performed to overcome the media noise that exits in low frequency of perpendicular recording system. We use a GS (Guided Scrambling) for DC-free coding, and the performance of the code is compared with that of the rate 819 code used in the conventional recording channel by a computer simulation.

  • 수직기록매체에서 기록 밀도가 증가하기 위해서는 bit의 크기를 줄여야 하고, 이를 위해서는 writing head의 width와 thickness를 줄여야 한다. 그러나 head의 크기가 줄어들면 기록층의 자화를 반전시키기에 충분한 write field를 얻지 못한다. 이를 극복하기 위해 head의 tip부분을 trimming을 하여 작은 pole tip 크기를 가지면서도 큰 write field를 얻고, 여분의 magnetic field를 얻기 위해 soft underlayer를 도입하는 이중층 수직기록 매체가 제안되고 있다.
