説明:

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a promising high-density data storage technology whose intensive practical deployment requires a perfect balance of many factors, including device reliability, which is challenged by severe writing conditions. In this work, we propose HAMR media composed of Fe-Pt/Ru/Fe-Pt trilayer nanograins embedded into a carbon segregating matrix. When the Ru nonmagnetic spacer is thinner than 2~nm, the Fe-Pt layers were found to be exchange-coupled and exhibit different Curie temperatures, which is beneficial for lowering the HAMR writing temperature. Given the grain size of 17~nm, sufficient thermal stability was preserved according to the time dependence of coercivity analyzed using the Sharrock equation. The granular microstructure of Fe-Pt/Ru/Fe-Pt films with different Ru thicknesses was examined in detail, while their magnetic properties were interpreted by micromagnetic simulations distinguishing the properties of individual Fe-Pt layers. Grain size reduction, suppression of in-plane variants, improvement of the degree of L10 order in the top Fe-Pt layer - all these are further steps to optimize the developed exchange-coupled Fe-Pt/Ru/Fe-Pt nanogranular films, that would open a new avenue for tuning the HAMR media toward its ultimate performance.
