For a new perpendicular magnetic recording system, Co-Cr film with anisotropy has been developed by an RF sputtering. The films are found to show some suitable properties for high density such as anisotropy, rectangular M-H loop, and fine grain structure. An extremely of 100,000 bits/inch was realized using the film. crystal microscopic structure also discussed, is mainly originated from uniaxial magneto-crystalline anisotropy.

Since perpendicular magnetic recording is free from demagnetization, high-density up to the intrinsic limit of a medium possible. This prediction was verified experimentally in flexible disk system using single-pole head and Co-Cr/Ni-Fe double-layer medium. We could record reproduce signals 680KFRPI. The bit length at highest density order Co-Cr columnar diameter.
The extremely high resolution properties in a perpendicular magnetic recording system were studied with recently developed Co-Cr film medium. Bitter technique was used to observe magnetization distribution the medium, and transition of directly observed on top bottom surfaces film. It proved that an ideal mode, having very narrow width, takes place even density over 40 kBPI. From angular variation H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
It has been deduced from the analysis of recording demagnetization mechanism in magnetic that short wavelengths remanent magnetization exhibits a closed-loop structure medium. In this paper novel experimental method is presented to confirm existence such (a circular mode) and investigate its for usual medium heads. The transformation mode perpendicular also discussed.
The demagnetization effect in magnetic recording must be evaluated, not as static self-demagnetization, but a dynamic demagnetizing field at an instant when the head is applied to medium. From this fact it becomes necessary obtain self-consistent magnetization distribution A method of calculation and its results are described. relation between longitudinal vector clarified. experimental sinusoidal pulse width peak shift digital interpreted new phenomena that related dynamical behavior process.

Superior bit density characteristics obtained so far indicate that is basically free from demagnetization in high region it will establish new field technology future. The prediction explained context complementary profiles longitudinal recording. At very beginning magnetic recording, perpendicular-type head was considered but abandoned because suitable did not exist. Progress...

Recent advances in the Co-Cr media are discussed regarding their potential recording and physical properties. The head reproducing resolution is most important for high density perpendicular recording. medium, if it has a fine columnar structure, shows very resolution, since columns predicted to show rotational mode of magnetization reversal, also offer an ideal mode. Stress placed on remaining issues : improvement reliability through improvements durability ; supply quality base materials.
