摘要
Media noise, SN ratio, and signal stability of triple-layer (TL) perpendicular recording media are studied. The TL medium is composed of a CoCrTa perpendicular layer, an amorphous CoZrNb soft. magnetic layer, and a CoSm in-plane hard magnetic pinning layer. A high SN ratio is obtained due to the pinning effect of the CoSm Layer and with an optimum CoCrTa perpendicular layer of a 50-nm-thick Co-Cr20-Ta3.5at% (Ms =400 emu/cm(3)) film. High signal stability against stray magnetic fields is obtained ia TL media with a 600-nm-thick CoZrNb layer. Moreover, no thermal magnetic relaxations occurs in TL media at 60 degrees C for 5 hours and at room temperature for 15 hours. The TL media are promising as practical ultrahigh density recording media having high read-write reliability.
