3 Patterned Media Overview Patterned Media -- Very Small Bits Individual magnetic islands can be created on the disk Each island would represent a single bit of information 200 Gb/in 2 = 56 nm period Patterned media will extend magnetic recording to > 1 Tb/in 2 Signal [a.u.] x-position [nm] 1Tb/in 2 = 25 nm period 5 TB 3.5-inch drive 1.2 TB 2.5-inch drive 80 GB 1-inch drive Page 3
4 Critical role of anisotropy distributions H.J. Richter Manfred Schabes ΔSNR(dB) IBM-Almaden σ HA /H A Continuous media: small change in width of anisotropy distribution has a large impact 1dB ~ 10 2 BER MRAM: must be able to reliably address only the target cell (Oe field or spin torque) Patterned media: Head field must not switch neighbouring islands Page 4
5 Addressing the correct island in patterned media Manfred Schabes Narrow Hk distribution Write only the intended track Pole head Map of field strength at top of islands Wide Hk distribution Unintentional writing of adjacent islands by stray fields from the head Page 5

Nucleation and domain wall motion masks distribution Nucleation of only a few very low anisotropy sites Magnetisation (emu/cm 3 ) 400 Co/Pd multilayer (E4085) Applied field (Oe) Nanofabrication allows full distribution to be probed Nucleation Domain formation Domain growth Page 6

17 Model of reversal in Co/Pd islands Model of island reversal from full remanence: A small volume reverses by rotation Rapid domain wall motion then ensures the entire island reverses from the nucleation site Initial reversal depends on local anisotropy and total effective field Nucleation field (Hn) >> pinning field (Hp) Consequences Angle dependence has Stoner-Wohlfarth form Distribution of nucleation (anisotropy) fields can be determined by varying island size Reversal field depends on initial state i.e. on the presence of reversed regions Tests Compare experimental and simulated results for Hr and σhr Functional form of SFD Time dependence of coercivity Page 17

22 Simulation and experiment Optimise simulation to match both measured H cr and SFD with a single set of parameters Find value of σk int across all island sizes and obtain Stoner Wohlfarth equivalent nucleation volume Co/Pd multilayers M s = 400 emu/cm 3 K int = 2.20 x 10 6 erg/cm 3 σk int = 7.6% l nuc = 38 nm Remanent Kerr rotation (norm.)

25 Summary Controlling the distribution of anisotropy is critical for nanomagnetic technologies Patterning magnetic arrays is a novel approach for determining intrinsic distributions of magnetic properties SFD is due to intrinsic properties of the magnetic film and is not a patterning induced artifact Kerr Rotation (normalised) film 1 μm 5 μm 500 nm nm 50 nm 100 nm Applied Field (Oe) 8000 Significant impact on the direction of patterned media development towards the goal of 1 Tbit/in 2 T.Thomson, G.
