Perpendicular Recording Media for Ultra-High-Density Magnetic Recording

  • Chapter
Magnetic Storage Systems Beyond 2000

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 41))

Abstract

The features of perpendicular recording media are described, focussing on the application to ultra-high-density magnetic recording. A perpendicular recording medium that employs a thick recording layer with moderate coercivity can reduce some of the difficulties that arise with a conventional longitudinal thin film medium. Recent experimental studies of perpendicular media are briefly reviewed and the future possibilities of perpendicular media are described.
