Controlling the refractive index difference between in-plane and thickness directions suppresses signal defects caused by thinned tape geometry.
Multi-level magnetization in a single 3DMR layer doubles linear density without spacing loss, avoiding noise from shrinking bit lengths.
A magnetic recording medium uses a copper under-layer with deposited nitrogen atoms to control grain diameter and orientation.
Alternately stacked Co alloy and soft magnetic layers facilitate magnetic domain wall movement, reducing power consumption and increasing recording density.
Local heat energy creates skyrmions in a chiral magnet to overcome slow transition times and large bit sizes found in phase change memory.
Layered media with distinct Curie temperatures tunes intergranular exchange coupling, enabling higher areal densities while maintaining thermal stability.
