Abstract:
An approach is presented for designing a polymeric layer for nanometer scale thermo-mechanical storage devices. Cross-linked polyimide oligomers are used as the recording layers in atomic force data storage device, giving significantly improved performance when compared to previously reported cross-linked and linear polymers. The cross-linking of the polyimide oligomers may be tuned to match thermal and force parameters required in read-write-erase cycles. Additionally, the cross-linked polyimide oligomers are suitable for use in nano-scale imaging.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing magnetic nanoparticles sufficiently dispersed in a polymer matrix. SOLUTION: Nanoparticles are non-ferromagnetic or weakly ferromagnetic. A dispersion liquid is annealed at the temperature T FM in which non-ferromagnetic nanoparticles are transformed into ferromagnetic nanoparticles and the ferromagnetism in weakly ferromagnetic nanoparticles is increased. A magnetic field is applied to the dispersion liquid, and the nanoparticles are aligned while the dispersion liquid is heated to the temperature T A . COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
