FePt-based exchange-coupled composite perpendicular recording media.

OSTI ID:979555
In order to demonstrate the strong and proper exchange coupling between bottom magnetic layer and capping magnetic layer in FePt-based exchange-coupled composite (ECC) perpendicular recording media, we have investigated the thermal stability, writability, degree of exchange coupling, and ECC gain factor of FePt-based ECC media as a function of the thickness of the capping FePt layer. With increasing the thickness of capping FePt layer, both thermal stability and media writability increase simultaneously as a result of the change from strong exchange coupling to proper exchange coupling. The proper exchange-coupled FePt ECC is a promising candidate for future high-density perpendicular recording.
