The Evolution of Magnetic Storage

نویسنده

چکیده

Since delivery of thefirst vacuum-column magnetic-tape transport in 1953 and thefirst movable-head disk drive in 1957, tape and disk devices in many configurations have been the principal means for storage of the large volumes of data required by data processing systems. Magnetic drums and other device geometries have also been important system components, but to a lesser extent. Over the past twenty-five years signijicant developments have been made that increase the capacity, reduce the cost, and improve the performance and reliability of these devices. With each improved device the range and nature of the applications undertaken have expanded and, in turn, led to a need for further device improvement. This paper gives a general review and historical perspective of magnetic storage development within IBM and is an introduction to the subsequent papers on disk, diskette, and tape technology and on disk manufacturing.

Micro Laser Welding of AISI 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel: Mechanical Properties, Magnetic Characterization and Texture Evolution

In the present work, a high power Nd:YAG laser has been employed to weld AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel thin sheets. Optical microscopy was used to study the microstructural evolutions during laser welding. Tensile test and microhardness measurement were employed in order to investigate the mechanical behaviors of welds. Also, vibrational sample magnetometry was used for characterizing magne...

Size Evolution Study of the Electronic and Magnetic Properties of MgO Nanoclusters

Magnesium oxide nanoclusters have attracted much attention due to their potential applications to catalysis and novel optoelectronic materials. In the present study, we have studied the electronic and magnetic properties of the stoichiometric magnesium oxide nanoclusters (MgO)n  for n = 2-20. Although the binding energy increases with the size of the cluster, it  re...

Study the stability of Si, Ge, Fe and Co in the interior surface of metallic carbon nanotube for hydrogen storage

In this article, we have performed calculations for studying the stability of the carbon group elements such as Si and Ge and also the magnetic elements like Fe and Co via first principle investigations. We found that Si and Ge decoupled from the interior surface of carbon nanotubes, this fact was independent in curvature, radius, conductivity and numbers of atoms in the carbon nanotubes. But t...

Mafic Dykes of Moyar Shear Zone, North Kerala, India: Emplacement History and Petrogenetic interpretation based on Structure, Geochemistry and Magnetic Fabric

Cretaceous mafic dykes in the Moyar Shear Zone (MSZ) area, north Kerala, India, provide signatures to probe into the nature of their source and thereby the evolution of the Mesozoic lithospheric mantle beneath the South Indian Granulite Terrain (SIGT). Bulk of the dykes in northern parts of Kerala is broadly in spatial association with the shear system. Mafic dykes striking NE-SW, NWSE, NNW-SSE...

میدانهای مغناطیسی بزرگ مقیاس و جفت‌شدگیهای الکترو- دیلاتونی و خمش

 We investigate the generation of large scale magnetic fields in the universe from quantum fluctuations that are produced in the inflationary stage. By coupling these quantum fluctuations to the dilaton field and Ricci scalar, we show that the magnetic fields with the strength observed today can be produced. We consider two situations. First, the evolution of dilaton ends by starting the reheat...
