Perpendicular magnetic recording—Its development and realization—
نویسنده
چکیده
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 perpendicular recording is much higher than that of HDDs for conventional recording. Consequently, it is estimated that as many as 75% of the 500 million HDDs to be shipped this year will use this technology.

Perpendicular exchange bias and its control by magnetic, stress and electric fields
Perpendicular exchange bias (PEB) involving perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in both the antiferromagnetic (AF) pinning and the ferromagnetic (FM) sensor layer is expected to become important in future perpendicular recording and sensing devices. Further, because of the reduced spin dimensionality, PEB promises to be easier understandable than the conventional planar exchange bias (EB). ...
متن کاملDevelopment of Granular-type Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Media
Hard disk drives (HDDs) were developed in 1956 and initially were applied mainly as external memories for mainframe computers. Subsequent advances in HDD technologies leading to higher areal density, smaller size and lower cost have brought HDDs into widespread use for their convenience. HDDs are now the mainstream external memories used for personal computers and mainframe computers. Recently,...
