This year the discovery of femtosecond demagnetization by laser pulses is 20 years old. For
the first time, this milestone work by Bigot and coworkers gave insight directly into the time …

As one of the most classical data-storage systems, magnetic recording (MR) systems have
attracted a significant amount of research attention in the past several decades due to the …

Hard disk drives have become the most commonly used mass storage devices because of
their low cost and high storage capacity. However, the current perpendicular magnetic …

In the era of big data, there exists a growing gap between data generated and storage
capacity using two-dimensional (2D) magnetic storage technologies (for example, hard disk …

Scanning probe lithography (SPL) as a maskless approach with a low tool price can pattern
a variety of materials at a nanometer or even atomic resolution. However, the throughput of …

The development of high‐density magnetic recording media is limited by
superparamagnetism in very small ferromagnetic crystals. Hard magnetic materials with …

Optical manipulation of magnetization with femtosecond laser pulses has opened a new
paradigm shift in magnetization and spin dynamics. Since the very first demonstration of …

Recently, much effort has been directed towards increasing the areal density of heat-
assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). Here, we use our HAMR recording simulation that …

By utilizing the new Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technique, the emerging SMR
disks achieve higher storage density and lower costs. Together with Flash-based SSDs …

Multi-level magnetic recording is a new concept for increasing the data storage capacity of
hard disk drives. However, its implementation has been limited by a lack of suitable media …
