Abstract:
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage layer, a thermal exchange control layer disposed over the storage layer, and a write layer disposed over the thermal exchange control layer. A Curie temperature of the thermal exchange control layer is lower than a Curie temperature of the storage layer. The Curie temperature of the thermal exchange control layer is lower than a Curie temperature of the write layer.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an apparatus including a layer stack. A first granular metal layer overlies the layer stack, wherein the first granular metal layer includes first metal grains separated by voids. A first granular non-metal layer overlies the first granular metal layer, wherein the first granular non-metal layer includes first non-metal grains separated by a first segregant. A second granular non-metal layer overlies the first granular non-metal layer, wherein the second granular non-metal layer includes second non-metal grains separated by a second segregant. A second granular metal layer overlies the second granular non-metal layer, wherein the second granular metal layer includes second metal grains separated by a third segregant.
Abstract:
Various magnetic stack embodiments may be constructed with a soft magnetic underlayer (SUL) having a first thickness disposed between a substrate and a magnetic recording layer. A heatsink may have a second thickness and be disposed between the SUL and the magnetic recording layer. The first and second thicknesses may each be tuned to provide predetermined thermal conductivity and magnetic permeability throughout the data media.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a thermally assisted data recording medium has a recording layer formed of iron (Fe), platinum (Pt) and a transition metal T selected from a group consisting of Rhodium (Rh), Ruthenium (Ru), Osmium (Os) and Iridium (Ir) to substitute for a portion of the Pt content as FeYPtY-XTX with Y in the range of from about 20 at % to about 80 at % and X in the range of from about 0 at % to about 20 at %.
