Abstract:Co-Cr-Ta perpendicular magnetic recording media with Ni-Zn ferrite backlayers are promising candidates to improve high frequency performance in extremely high linear density applications. Though ferrite plating facilitates to fabricate polycrystalline Ni-Zn ferrite films even at low temperature below 100 QC, the films have disadvantages oflarge grain size (200~300 nm) and roughness (4~5 nm). Such surface texture caused aggregating grains without clear magnetic isolations in Co-Cr-Ta layers deposited on them, r… Show more
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.
