Title: All-optical magnetic recording system using FeMnPt media
Inventor: HELLWIG OLAV
IPC: G11B11/10
Filed: 2014-11-28
Abstract: An "all optical switching" (AOS) magnetic recording system, i.e., one that does not require a magnetic field to reverse the magnetization in the magnetic recording media, uses a FeMnPt L10 alloy as the magnetic media. A FeMnPt alloy, with appropriate amounts of Mn, has a high magneto-crystalline anisotropy and ferrimagnetic spin alignment. The optical switching may utilise either the inverse Faraday effect (circularly polarised light) or a short light pulse thermal interaction in the ferrimagnetic material (linearly polarized light). The FeMnPt media may be a single layer with or without any segregants. Alternatively, the FeMnPt media may be a multilayered recording layer comprising alternating layers of FePt and MnPt ordered alloys. The segregant-free embodiments of the Iron-Manganese-Platinum material may be patterned to form bit-patterned-media (BPM). The percentage of manganese in the FeMnPt may be between 1-15 atomic percent. The size of the layers may be between 5 and 15 nm and the amount of manganese may be controlled through the thickness of the layers.
