Design and Micromagnetic Simulation of FeL10-FePtFe Trilayer for Exchange Coupled Composite Bit Patterned Media at Ultrahigh Areal Density

الملخص EN

Exchange coupled composite bit patterned media (ECC-BPM) are one candidate to solve the trilemma issues, overcome superparamagnetic limitations, and obtain ultrahigh areal density.

In this work, the ECC continuous media and ECC-BPM of Fe/L10-FePt/Fe trilayer schemes are proposed and investigated based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation.

The switching field, H s w , of the hard phase in the proposed continuous ECC trilayer media structure is reduced below the maximum write head field at interlayer exchange coupling between hard and soft phases, A e x , higher than 20 pJ/m and its value is lower than that for continuous L10-FePt single layer media and L10-FePt/Fe bilayer.

Furthermore, the H s w of the proposed ECC-BPM is lower than the maximum write head field with exchange coupling coefficient between neighboring dots of 5 pJ/m and A e x over 10 pJ/m.

Therefore, the proposed ECC-BPM trilayer has the highest potential and is suitable for ultrahigh areal density magnetic recording technology at ultrahigh areal density.

The results of this work may be gainful idea for nanopatterning in magnetic media nanotechnology.
