This invention relates to a new type of reflective optical element made of a fluid that responds to a force if subjected to a magnetic field. As a consequence, one can impose any shape one wants to the reflecting surface by generating an appropriate magnetic field geometry with permanent magnets, electromagnets or a combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets, or the like. A preferred embodiment uses a ferromagnetic fluid made of water containing ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Liquid ferromagnetic surfaces thus obtained were successfully shaped using magnetic fields. In another preferred embodiment, to modify the reflectivity of the optical element, a reflective layer, such as a nano-engineered silver reflecting surface, is deposited on the surface of the magnetically sensitive fluid. The surface of the reflecting layer can therefore be warped by applying a magnetic field to the fluid. Coated or uncoated magnetically deformable liquid surfaces with reflective layers allows one to make inexpensive and versatile high-quality reflecting mirrors having complex shapes. The shapes of the reflecting surfaces can be changed within short time periods by changing the shapes of the magnetic fields.

A magnetic recording medium for high-density recording, having a doped interlayer to preserve the uniformity and ordering of the magnetic nanoparticles in its recording layer. The interlayer is doped with a high electronegativity material. The dopant atoms in the interlayer interact with the ferromagnetic nanoparticles to promote the formation of a homogeneous, ordered monolayer of nanoparticles in the recording layer. In addition, the high electronegative property of the dopant atoms holds the nanoparticles in place during the subsequent annealing process to prevent sintering and disordering damage. In one embodiment, the dopant is a halogen or non-halogen material having a high electronegativity, which is not polymerized to the matrix material in the interlayer. The matrix material may be polymerized. An example of a doped interlayer is a fluorinated carbon film.
