Abstract:

Decrease of a switching field, Hsw, of the magnetic media with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant, Ku, can be handled by tilted-easy axis. Not only tilting easy direction of crystal but also optimum magnetic properties can improve writability. The effects of Ku and saturation magnetization, Ms, of L10-CoPt material of BPM with 45° tilted-easy axis are investigated in this article. The object oriented micromagnetic framework package based on Landau - Lifshitz - Gilbert equation has been used to analyze the magnetic properties of media in this paper. The results indicate that the Hsw decreases with decreasing Ku and increasing Ms. To achieve the Hsw lower than the maximum write head field, the Ku and Ms values should not be over 1.30 MJ/m3 and should exceed 0.30 MA/m, respectively.
