The application discloses a magnetic recording device, a multi-state disk and a read-write method, and belongs to the field of
magnetic storage. The magnetic recording device comprises a substrate and a magnetic recording film above the substrate. The magnetic recording film is circular and comprises three ferromagnetic
layers separated by two non-magnetic intermediate
layers. The easy
magnetization directions of the three ferromagnetic
layers are along the x, y and z directions respectively. The z direction is the vertical direction, and the x and y directions are in-plane directions and are along the radial direction and the tangential direction respectively. The multi-state disk comprises the magnetic recording device, a read head, a write head and magnetic shielding layers on both sides of the read head. The write head comprises a vertical magnetic pole and two pairs of horizontal
magnetic poles, and coils wound on the
magnetic poles. The read head comprises a
spin current generation layer and a film layer structure (a magnetic
tunnel junction, a
spin valve or a Hall bar). The application can improve the storage density of the magnetic recording device, thereby greatly improving the storage density of the disk based on the magnetic recording device.
