We optimize the recording medium for heat-assisted magnetic recording by using a high/low $T_{mathrm{c}}$ bilayer structure to reduce AC and DC noise. Compared to a former work, small Gilbert damping $alpha=0.02$ is considered for the FePt like hard magnetic material. Atomistic simulations are performed for a cylindrical recording grain with diameter $d=5,$nm and height $h=8,$nm. Different soft magnetic material compositions are tested and the amount of hard and soft magnetic material is optimized. The results show that for a soft magnetic material with $alpha_{mathrm{SM}}=0.1$ and $J_{ij,mathrm{SM}}=7.72times 10^{-21},$J/link a composition with $50%$ hard and $50%$ soft magnetic material leads to the best results. Additionally, we analyse how much the areal density can be improved by using the optimized bilayer structure compared to the pure hard magnetic recording material. It turns out that the optimized bilayer design allows an areal density that is $1,$Tb/in$^2$ higher than that of the pure hard magnetic material while obtaining the same SNR.

In magnetic recording the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a good indicator for the quality of written bits. However, a priori it is not clear which parameters have the strongest influence on the SNR. In this work, we investigate the role of the Gilber t damping on the SNR. Grains consisting of FePt like hard magnetic material with two different grain sizes $d_1=5,$nm and $d_2=7,$nm are considered and simulations of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) are performed with the atomistic simulation program VAMPIRE. The simulations display that the SNR saturates for damping constants larger or equal than 0.1. Additionally, we can show that the Gilbert damping together with the bit length have a major effect on the SNR whereas other write head and material parameters only have a minor relevance on the SNR.

The presence of magnetic noise in magnetoresistive-based magnetic sensors degrades their detection limit at low frequencies. In this paper, different ways of stabilizing the magnetic sensing layer to suppress magnetic noise are investigated by applyi ng a pinning field, either by an external field, internally in the stack or by shape anisotropy. We show that these three methods are equivalent, could be combined and that there is a competition between noise suppression and sensitivity reduction, which results in an optimum total pinning field, for which the detection limit of the sensor is improved up to a factor of ten.
The reduction of the transition curvature of written bits in heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is expected to play an important role for the future areal density increase of hard disk drives. Recently a write head design with flipped write and return poles was proposed. In this design a large spatial field gradient of the write head was the key to significantly reduce the transition curvature. In this work we optimized the write pole of a heat-assisted magnetic recording head in order to produce large field gradients as well as large fields in the region of the heat pulse. This is done by topology optimization. The simulations are performed with dolfin-adjoint. For the maximum field gradients of $8.1,$mT/nm, $8.6,$mT/nm and $11.8,$mT/nm, locally resolved footprints of an FePt like hard magnetic recording medium are computed with a coarse-grained Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) model and the resulting transition curvature is analysed. Additional simulations with a bilayer structure with $50%$ hard and $50%$ soft magnetic material are computed. The results show that for both recording media, the optimized head design does not lead to any significant improvement of the written track. Thus, we analyse the transition curvature for the optimized write heads theoretically with an effective recording time window (ERTW) model. Moreover, we check how higher field gradients influence the curvature reduction. The results show that a simple optimization of the conventional head design design is not sufficient for effective curvature reduction. Instead, new head concepts will be needed to reduce transition curvature.
Enhancing light absorption in the recording media layer can improve the energy efficiency and prolong the device lifetime in heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). In this work, we report the design and implementation of a resonant nanocavity struc ture to enhance the light-matter interaction within an ultrathin FePt layer. In a Ag/SiO2/FePt trilayer structure, the thickness of the dielectric SiO2 layer is systematically tuned to reach maximum light absorption at the wavelength of 830 nm. In the optimized structure, the light reflection is reduced by more than 50%. This results in effective laser heating of the FePt layer, as imaged by an infrared camera. The scheme is highly scalable for thinner FePt layers and shorter wavelengths to be used in future HAMR technologies.
In this paper we apply an extended Landau-Lifschitz equation, as introduced by Bav{n}as et al. for the simulation of heat-assisted magnetic recording. This equation has similarities with the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation. The Bav{n}as equation is su pposed to be used in a continuum setting with sub-grain discretization by the finite-element method. Thus, local geometric features and nonuniform magnetic states during switching are taken into account. We implement the Bav{n}as model and test its capability for predicting the recording performance in a realistic recording scenario. By performing recording simulations on 100 media slabs with randomized granular structure and consecutive read back calculation, the write position shift and transition jitter for bit lengths of 10nm, 12nm, and 20nm are calculated.
