“…Since the master does not need higher coercivity Hc , than that of the slave, it is possible to duplicate even to highrecording-density hard disks with high Hc This duplication is expected to resolve the problems of conventional servo-track writing (STW), such as STW time, writing cost, and precise writing [3,4]. Although many studies of the method have been conducted, most of them have involved micron-sized bits [5][6][7]. In addition, there have been no studies of how the method can be used to record high-density servo-patterns.…”
