Abstract

The requirements for media for high-density magnetic recording are reviewed, particularly with respect to the emerging technology of perpendicular magnetic recording.It is discussed in general how suitable properties of the recording films can be achieved in practice.Several approaches to extend the thermal limit of magnetic recording technology are outlined.
