Patent number: 8685547Abstract: Aspects are directed to recording media with enhanced magnetic properties for improved writability. Examples can be included or related to methods, systems and components that allow for improved writability while reducing defects so as to obtain uniform magnetic properties such as uniformly high anisotropy and narrow switching field distribution. Some examples include a recording medium with an exchange tuning layer inserted between the hard layer and the soft, semi-soft or thin semi-hard layer so as to maximize the writability improvement of the media. Preferably, the exchange tuning layer is granular and reduces or optimizes the vertical coupling between the hard layer and the soft, semi-soft or semi-hard layer of a magnetic recording or storing device.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Bo Bian, Shoutao Wang, Weilu Xu, Abebe Hailu, Miaogen Lu, Charles C.
