Continuous Fabrication and Perpendicular Recording Characteristics of Co-Cr Magnetic Tape.

Magnetic structures in Co-Cr media for perpendicular magnetic recording

High bit densities have been demonstrated in longitudinal as well as in perpendicular magnetic recording. For the latter an area density of more than 12 G b i t / i n 2 has been obtained in a sputtered C o C r T a hard disk with a soft magnetic underlayer recorded with a special single pole head. In this paper the role of microstructure and morphology in relation to the compositional separation...

Magnetic tape recording electrocardiograph.

R ECORDING the electrocardiogram for prolonged intervals presents difficulties from the standpoint of economy and convenience. One 200 foot roll of paper for a direct writing instrument is used in 40 minutes of continuous recording at 25 mm. per second, and reviewing this long electrocardiographic record is a cumbersome procedure. A convenient method of recording electrocardiograms and fied ele...

Perpendicular magnetic recording—Its development and realization—

The principle of conventional magnetic recording is that magnetic fields are applied parallel to the plane of the magnetic medium. As described in this paper, the invention and development of a new method of placing the magnetized information perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic recording medium is presented. The yield in the mass production of high-density hard disk drives (HDDs) for per...

Recording characteristics of perpendicular magnetic media with CoZrNb, NiFeNb, and exchange-pinned NiFeNb soft magnetic underlayers

Magnetic Layers for Perpendicular Recording Media

Hard disk drives (HDDs) are recently being incorporated into video recorders, car navigation devices, family game machines, etc., as devices (AV-HDDs) to store digital AV (audio-visual) information such as movies and television programs. Because the AV-HDD has the features of large capacity, high speed and low cost, it is suitable for long-time recording, high-speed random access and multi-chan...
