Grain size reduction for perpendicular magnetic recording media using an Ar-ion etched Ru seedlayer
We report an approach to reduce grain size for perpendicular media by using an Ar-ion etched Ru seedlayer. The surface etching affects the microstructure of the subsequent high pressure deposited Ru2+SiO2 interlayer and magnetic layer, whose grain size can be controlled. SiO2 in the interlayer plays a more important role in grain size reduction on the etched seedlayer than the as-grown seedlaye...
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 ...
متن کاملMicrostructure and magnetic properties of perpendicular media with reduced grain size
A new approach to control the grain size of Co alloy oxide perpendicular media by means of Ar-ion etching is presented. Ar plasma was applied to the surface of a continuous Ru1 layer, on top of which a granular Ru2+SiO2 layer was subsequently deposited. It was found that etching time and high Ar-ion energy have a significant effect on the surface roughness of the seedlayer, which in turn have a...
متن کاملExperimental modeling of intergranular exchange coupling for perpendicular thin film media
We present an experimental model system that enables quantitative assessment of intergranular exchange coupling in CoCrPt-oxide perpendicular magnetic recording media. A thin film structure consisting of a high coercivity CoPt unicrystal layer and a lower coercivity CoPt layer separated by a thin oxide interlayer is used to model perpendicularly magnetized grains separated by oxide grain bounda...

Coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic ordering or their mutually exclusive existence in solids is one of the fundamental problems of solid state physics. To determine the effect of Pr substitution for Gd on electrical and magnetic properties of RuGd1.5Ce0.5Sr2Cu2O10-δ (Ru-1222), Ru(Gd1.5-xPrx)Ce0.5Sr2Cu2O10-δ with x=0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.03 3 , 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.1 have been prepared by...
