New Ni5Al3 Underlayer for Longitudinal Magnetic Recording Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a new Ni5Al3 underlayer for high-density longitudinal magnetic recording. The Ni5Al3 underlayer has the FCC derivative Ga3Pt5 structure. The Ni5Al3 (221) plane has good lattice match with the CoCrPt (10 1 0) plane. In addition, unlike the NiAl (112) plane, the Ni5Al3 (221) plane has the lowest surface energy. Hence, the Ni5Al3 thin film has a strong (221) texture and can induce CoCrPt (10 1 0) texture. The microstructure and magnetic properties of the CoCrPt–Ni5Al3 thin films are reported and discussed.

The Fourier method is used to provide new analytic solutions for idealized mathematical models of double-element shielded magnetoresistive (MR) recording heads. The general two-dimensional model allows analysis of various recording head configurations; a single pole head, a ring head, a dual stripe head and a differential head. The analysis accommodates both longitudinal recording (with no soft...
متن کاملA novel crystalline soft magnetic intermediate layer for perpendicular recording media
In order to improve the recording efficiency in current perpendicular recording media, it is important to reduce the distance from the head to soft underlayer. In this paper, a soft magnetic intermediate layer is proposed to partially replace the presently used Ru intermediate layer. The new soft magnetic intermediate layer serves two purposes, which are as follows: 1 to decrease the thickness ...
