A new structure disk was developed for a magneto-optical (MO) composite head system. The new disk has a thin readout substrate under and a high magnetic permeability layer over the MO layer. The effect of the high magnetic permeability layer was confirmed experimentally and agreed well with theoretical results. The normal component of the magnetic field at the MO layer is enhanced 1.6 times by the high magnetic permeability layer.
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.
