Coupled granular/continuous (CGC) media are formed by depositing a 6 nm Co/Pd multilayer onto a CoCrPt-SiO 2 granular magnetic layer. The multilayer reduces magnetic saturation field from 11.4 to 7.2 kOe. The lower is reflected in the recording overwrite (OW) improvement of around 20 dB. The thermal stability factor also increases with addition of the multilayer, from 60 to 100, resulting in the improvement of thermal stability for CGC media. The origin of the increase derives from the larger activation volume. The CGC media has coherent magnetization reversal and very weak exchange coupling, similar to the base granular media. The coherent magnetization reversal with very weak exchange coupling contributes to a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) improvement of around 1 dB. These results suggest that CGC media have a recording advantage over the conventional structure media, and are a promising approach to avoid the limitations of the "magnetic recording tri-lemma" and realize future ultrahigh density recording media.Index Terms-Activation volume, angular dependence of , cluster size, plane view TEM image.

“…Since CoCrPt-oxide composite granular layers were developed [4], many experiments on capped media have used CoCrPt-oxide granular layers in combination with various capping layers, such as CoCrPt alloys, amorphous TbFeCo alloys, and (Co/Pd) n multilayers [5][6][7]. Although these have demonstrated superior recording capabilities under several optimum conditions of the capping layer, the requirements and reasons for the improved performance are still unclear.…”
