The flat plate has no demagnetization within its x-y plane but shows a 4πdemagnetizing factor on magnetization components out of plane. A sphere showsa 4/3 π factor in all directions. A long cylinder has no demagnetization along its axis, but shows 2π in the x and y directions of its cross sections.

The magnetic moment of spining electron is called the Bohr magneton
3d shells of Fe are unfilled and have uncompensated electron spin magnetic moments
when Fe atoms condense to form a solid-state metallic crystal, the electronic distribution (density of states), changes. Whereas the isolated atom has 3d: 5+, 1-; 4s:1+, 1-, in the solid state the distribution becomes 3d: 4.8+, 2.6-; 4s: 0.3+,0.3-. Uncompensated spin magnetic moment of Fe is 2.2 μB .

Głowica odczytu
Odczyt informacji (głowica indukcyjna) : Do odczytu informacji wykorzystywane jest zjawisko indukcji magnetycznej – generowanie siły elektromotorycznej w obwodzie prądu pod wpływem zmian strumienia magnetycznego –przecinania linii sił rozproszonego pola magnetycznego pochodzącego od różnie zorientowanych magnetycznie obszarów.
Jak zwiększyć gęstość zapisu informacji?Zastąpić materiał lity (stalowy drut lub taśmę) drobinami materiału ferromagnetycznego naniesionymi na niemagnetyczne podłoże (wpierw papier później tworzywa sztuczne – taśmy magnetofonowe).
In the early 1930s researchers at the Ludwigshafen works created a sensation with another pioneering invention: the Magnetophon, which had been developed in cooperation with AEG. It was presented at the Berlin Radio Exhibition in 1935.

Warunek stabilności – pole koercji (pole potrzebne do przemagnesowania) materiału ferromagnetycznego HC musi być dostatecznie duże – im węższe bity tym większe musi być pole HC
Im większe pole HC tym trudniej zapisać informację – wymagane są bardzo małe odległości pomiędzy głowicą zapisu i dyskiem (obecnie 0.1μm, większe wartości prądu płynące przez elektromagnes.....

History of HDD
• 1956 – HDD of IBM, random access method of accounting and control (RAMAC)
• 1980 – induction thin film head• 1990 – write induction coil, read AMR sensor• 1996 – GMR sensor
HDD for 50 years and now
First Hard Disk Drive with 24" Diameter Disks Compared with Modern 2.5" HDD. The first HDD was
introduced in 1956 with 50 disks of 24" diameter holding a total of 4.4 Mbytes of data. The purchase price of
this HDD was $10,000,000 per Gbyte. For comparison in the foreground a modern HDD is shown holding 160
Gbyte of data on two 2.5" diameter disks at a purchase price of less than $1 per Gbyte.

Thin film disks
Substrate – Al Mg (or glass) + electroplated Ni80P20(Tc<Troom). NiP undercoat layer make disk hard and smooth. Cr underlayer is used to control microstructure and magnetic properties the main magnetic recording layer of CoPtCr doped with B. The magnetic layer is covered by a carbon overcoat layer and lubricant. The last two layers are necessary for the tribological performance of the head-disk interface and for the protection of the magnetic layer.

Evolution of bit size
Macroscopic properties of the diskFor high density recording the macroscopic properties such as coercivity (Hc), remanence (Mr), coercive squerness (S*) and remanence squerness (S) determine read-back signal variables such as pulse shape, amplitude and resolution arising from magnetic transitions.

πThe parameter (f ) is called as transition slope parameter. In an ideal situation, in the absence of demagnetizing fields (arising from adjacent bit cells), the transition would be abrupt.
Assuming that the contributions to the transition parameter from characteristics of the write head are negligible and that the recording medium has a coercive squerness S*= 1 a simplified relation can be derived from the Williams Comstock model:

To minimize the transition slope f, Eq.5 indicates that this can be achieved by:•decreasing the magnetic spacing d and thickness of recording medium δ,•increasing the Hc of the medium,•smaller Mr reduce the read signal detected by AMR or GMR.

Grains in bit cell
Microscopic propertiesCoercivity Hc - control and modification:• magnetocrystalline anisotropy (grain shape anisotropy),•selection of alloying elements (Al, Cr, Pt, Ta, B,...)•determination of influence:
•deposition conditions and parameters: substrate temperature, biasvoltage, sputtering power (deposition rate), sputtering gas pressure(Ar)•microstructure: film stresses, grain size, texture (grain orientation), grain boundaries, crystal defects.
If the grain structure is noticably voided, leading to reduced magnetic intractions and lower transition noise.
Superparamagnetic effectThe superparamagnetic effect originates from the shrinking volume of magnetic grains that compose the storage properties of hard disk media. The magnetic grains represent the data bits that are stored as alternating magnetic orientations. To increase data-storage densities while maintaining acceptable performance, designers have shrunk the media's grain diameters and decreased the thickness of the media. The resulting smaller grain volume makes them increasingly susceptible to thermal fluctuations, which decreases the signal sensed by the drive's read/write head. If the signal reduction is great enough, data could be lost over time to this superparamagnetic effect.
TEM of the grain structures in magnetic media. (magnification = 1 million)
The pictures are transmission electron micrographs (TEM) of two different disk media which illustrates how the grain structure has evolved over time. The TEM on the left is a magnetic media that supports a data density of about 10 gigabits/inch2 with an average grain diameter of about 13 nanometers. The magnetic media on the right supports a data density of 25 gigabit/inch2 with an average grain diameter of about 8.5 nanometers. Historically, disk drive designers have had only two ways to maintain thermal stability as the media's grain volume decreases with increasing areal density: 1) Improve the signal processing and error-correction codes (ECC) so fewer grains are needed per data bit, and 2) develop new magnetic materials that resist more strongly any change to their magnetization, known technically as higher coercivity. The later is complicated by the laws of physics, as higher coercivity alloys are more difficult to write on. While improvements in coding and ECC are ongoing, Hitachi GST's discovery of AFC media is a major advancement because it allowsdisk-drive designers to write at very high areal densities on a surface that offers greater stability than conventional media.
Nośnik informacji – ferromagnetyczna cienka warstwa (z anizotropią w płaszczyźnie warstwy) o granularnej (ziarnistej) strukturze. Takie dyski są obecnie powszechnie stosowane.
1 bit (obszar, w którym ziarna mają określony kierunek magnetyzacji) składa się z około 103 ziaren. Rozmycie granicy pomiędzy bitami nie może być duże. Tak więc wzrost gęstości zapisu można uzyskać poprzez zmniejszenie rozmiaru ziaren.
Czy można bezkarnie zmniejszać rozmiar cząstek?Dla małych cząstek (d<3nm w temperaturze pokojowej) kierunek namagnesowania cząstki ferromagnetycznej w wyniku wzbudzeń termicznych fluktuuje (zmienia kierunek) – cząstka superparamagnetyczna. Oznacza to utratę zapisanej informacji (limit superparamagnetyczny).
Signal to noise (S/N) ratio
Highly intergranular coupled magnetic thin films with long correlation lengths tends to form zizag domain walls in recorded transitions (bits) which results in noises. Threrefore the reduction of intergranular exchange coupling becomes important. There are three major approaches to noise reduction:•physical grain segregation, •compositional segregation,•Small grains with very narrow size distributions.
For example – higher Cr content and higher sputter temperatures leads to Cr segregation to grain boundaries, forming non-magnetic phases in CoPtCrTa and CoPtCrTB. The low solubility of B in the cobalt alloys leads to compositional segregation.
The ideal thin-recording-magnetic layer should be composed of grains with high-anisotropy, which are smaller than the recording bit cell, uniform in size and magnetically isolated.
Thermal stabilityFor high density recording the grains are small in comaprison to the bit cell. In a simplified model, assuming isolated grains, the thermally induced switching of magnetization has to overcome an energy barier. The switching probability f is given by an Arrhenius equation:

ΔW is energy barier, Ku is the uniaxial anisotropy constant, V is grain volume. If the grains become very small, the magnetization switch very easily which leads to superparamagnetic efect.
