Abstract: A conductive composition includes a conductive metal, a first resin component, and a second resin component, which is an isocyanate component, that is reactive with the first resin component. A metal oxide and a lubricant are present as impurities on a surface of the metal. The second resin component is blocked at a first temperature and unblocked at a second temperature greater than the first temperature to produce fist and second fluxing agents. The first fluxing agent reacts with the lubricant to partially remove the oxide and the lubricant from the surface of the metal. The removal, or cleansing, of the oxide and the lubricant from the metal increases a conductivity of the composition. A method deposits a trace of the composition on a substrate and heats the composition to the second temperature to cause the second resin component to unblock.

IPC: G11B5/65
Filed: 2004-06-10
Abstract: Multiple embodiments of the invention are described which include at least
two laminated ferromagnetic layers with differing magnetic anisotropy. The
independent magnetic layer farther away from the recording head is selected to
have a lower magnetic anisotropy to allow magnetic switching of the multiple
magnetic layers to occur at approximately the same head write current even
though the recording head field is reduced with increased distance from the
head. The improved switching yields improved magnetic recording performance.
Laminated magnetic media according to the invention can have a single peak in
the normalized DC erase noise vs. head write current plot indicating that the
magnetic transitions in the non-slave magnetic layers are written at the same
head write current. As a result the magnetic pulse width ( PW   50 ) is reduced,
overwrite ( OW ) is improved and media signal-to-noise ratio  (S o NR)  is improved.
Alternatively one or both of the laminated ferromagnetic layers can be replaced
with an antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled layer structure that has an AFC-master
and an AFC-slave layer separated by a spacer layer selected to
antiferromagnetically couple the AFC-master and AFC-slave layers.
