Perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology has recently been introduced in hard
disk drives (HDDs) by almost all the HDD manufacturers. It is expected that because of PMR …

Magnetization reversal in exchange-spring magnet films has been investigated by a first-
order reversal curve (FORC) technique and vector magnetometry. In Fe∕ epitaxial-SmCo …

A critical requirement for bit patterned media applications is the control and minimization of
the switching field distribution (SFD). Here, we use the Δ H (M, Δ M) method to separate …

We introduce a method based on the first-order-reversal-curve (FORC) diagram to extract
the intrinsic (microscopic) switching-field distribution (SFD) of perpendicular recording …

Using low density arrays of bistable magnetic nanowires as a model dipolar system, it is
shown that the dipolar interaction field coefficient can be measured from the remanence …

The magnetic behaviour of ensembles of magnetic entities depends on their intrinsic
magnetic properties and many other factors, including short-and long-range magnetic …

We describe a method for the experimental characterization of intrinsic switching field
distributions in perpendicular media. The method is based upon a comparison between the …

Chemically ordered and highly textured L 1 0 FePt-C granular films are potential media for
future heat-assisted magnetic recording. Vibrating sample magnetometry of such films in …

A mean field model is presented for the configuration dependent effective demagnetizing
and anisotropy fields in assemblies of exchange decoupled magnetic particles of arbitrary …

Microwave-assisted recording on a 500-Gbpsi-class perpendicular medium was
experimentally demonstrated at room temperature. Magnetization reversal under a radio …
