Recorded magnetisation distributions in thin film media

Abstract

The nature of magnetisation distributions written into thin film recording media is described with particular attention being focussed on the form of sawtooth magnetisation patterns in longitudinal recording.The implications of these distributions is considered in detail and related to attainable packing densities and the I hysteresis properties of the recording media.

Experimental Validation of The Triangle Zig-Zag Transition Model

“…Stochastic zig-zag transition models In longitudinal magnetic recording, pioneered by Amoldussen and Tong [l] and Middleton and Miles [2], have gained attention in signal processing applications through recently proposed models in [3,4]. The most attractive feature of the stochastic zig-zag models, contrary to micromagnetic models, is the computational simplidty with which they model transitions and media noise.…”
