摘要:
Co layers with added SiO2 were applied to Co-Pt multilayer media to enhance the grain isolation and reduce the media noise. Typical magnetic properties of the media with 0.29 mn Co layer thickness and 0.12 nm Pt layer thickness were the coercivity H-c. = 6.2 kOe, the saturation magnetization M-s = 540 emu/cm(3), squareness S = 1.0, the slope parameter alpha = 1.6, the nucleation field H-n = -2.5 kOe, and the perpendicular anisotropy energy K-u = 6.0 X 10(6) erg/cm(3). Average grain size and grain boundary of that media were 6.6 nm in diameter and about 2 nm in width, respectively. The media exhibited both excellent recording performances and good thermal stability.
