SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIPLE ANISOTROPY LAYERED MAGNETIC STRUCTURES FOR CONTROLLING REVERSAL MECHANISM AND TIGHTENING OF SWITCHING FIELD DISTRIBUTION IN BIT PATTERNED MEDIA
Multiple anisotropy layered magnetic structures for controlling reversal mechanism and tightening of switching field distribution in bit patterned media are disclosed. The invention extends the exchange spring concept to more variable and sophisticated structures. Three or more layers with different anisotropy or anisotropy gradients increase writeability gains beyond the simple hard/soft bilayer exchange spring concept for BPM. The structures have a thin very hard, high anisotropy center layer that acts as a threshold or pinning layer for domain wall propagation through the entire media structure. In addition or alternatively, a thin very soft, low anisotropy center layer in between the commonly used soft surface layer and hard media layer allows quick initial propagation of the domain wall into the center of the media structure. Various properties of the media structures can be tuned more independently for optimization if using more advanced multi-anisotropy layer stacks.
