Experimental estimates of in-plane thermal conductivity in FePt-C granular thin film heat assisted magnetic recording media using a model layered system
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cross-plane thermal conductivity kth measurements of vertical stacks of FePt/C were used to estimate the in-plane thermal conductivity of Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) media that consist of columnar FePt grains segregated by thin C grain boundaries. FePt/C multilayers with varied repeat units and FePt layer thicknesses (chosen to represent HAMR media grain sizes) were measured using Frequency-Domain Thermoreflectance to determine kth in the direction normal to the layers. The data suggest that when FePt grains are less than 8 nm in diameter, the inplane kth for HAMR media is below 1 W/m-K and the anisotropy of kth (cross-plane/in-plane) will exceed 10.

Influence of chemical ordering on the thermal conductivity and electronic relaxation in FePt thin films in heat assisted magnetic recording applications
We report on the out-of-plane thermal conductivities of tetragonal L10 FePt (001) easy-axis and cubic A1 FePt thin films via time-domain thermoreflectance over a temperature range from 133 K to 500 K. The out-of-plane thermal conductivity of the chemically ordered L10 phase with alternating Fe and Pt layers is ~23% greater than the thermal conductivity of the disordered A1 phase at room tempera...

A thin FePt film was deposited onto a CrV seed layer at 400°C and showed a high coercivity (~3,400 Oe) and high magnetization (900-1,000 emu/cm(3)) characteristic of L 10 phase. However, the magnetic properties of patterned media fabricated from the film stack were degraded due to the Ar-ion bombardment. We employed a deposition-last process, in which FePt film deposited at room temperature und...

Thin bonded films have many applications in antireflection and reflection coating, insulating and conducting films and semiconductor industries. Thermal conductivity is one of the most important parameter for power packaging since the thermal resistance of the interconnections is directly related to the heat removal capability and thermal management of the power package. The defects in material...
