Electron holography was employed for experiments involving a high-density magnetic recording, in which it was possible to directly observe streams of magnetic flux. The magnetic flux distribution in recorded films, and the maximum packing density in high-coercivity evaporated cobalt film were investigated. With magnetic longitudinal recording the resultant highest density was 170 000 bits per inch. This experiment has proven that electron holography is useful for the study of magnetic recording.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
