A Magnetic Solid-State Storage Technology: Vertical Bloch Line Storage

摘要

No storage technology is known to exist today which simultaneously offers high-storage density, nonvolatility, and a solid-state form factor. For example, common random access memories are solid-state, but are volatile and typically offer modest density. Alternatively, mainstream magnetic disk and magnetic tape systems offer high storage density and nonvolatility, but are fundamentally not solid-state. A number of applications exist which would be suited well with high performance solid- state technology. NASA, for example, is beginning baseline solid-state recorders for upcoming space missions, such as the Cassini mission to Saturn.
