  • Publication number: 20240096349
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes magnetic disks, a plurality of magnetic heads, and a control unit. A plurality of magnetic heads each includes a heat-assist unit which applies a preheating current of such magnitude that data already written to the magnetic disk is not erased to a near-field optical element for the preheat time. The control unit measures the time elapsing from a start of write to the time when a value of an index indicating the quality of a recording signal of data written by the magnetic head converges to within a first threshold range, and adjusts the preheat time for each of the magnetic heads in such a manner that the measured lapse time becomes less than or equal to a second threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240062783
    Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) head has a slider with a gas-bearing-surface (GBS). The slider supports a near-field transducer (NFT) with an output tip at the GBS and a main magnetic pole that has a recess in the NFT-facing surface that contains plasmonic material. The plasmonic recess has a front edge at the GBS that has a cross-track width equal to or less than the cross-track width of the widest portion of the NFT output tip, and a back edge recessed from the GBS. A thermal shunt is located between the NFT and the main pole to allow heat to be transferred away from the optical spot generated by the NFT output tip, and is in contact with a region of the plasmonic recess near the back edge.

  • Patent number: 11881231
    Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) head has a slider with a gas-bearing-surface (GBS). The slider supports a near-field transducer (NFT) and a main magnetic pole that has a step or recess in the NFT-facing surface near the GBS that contains plasmonic material. A thermal shunt is located between the NFT and the main pole to allow heat to be transferred away from the optical spot generated by the NFT. The NFT-facing surface of the main pole that is recessed from the step away from the GBS is in contact with the thermal shunt, and the thermal shunt is in contact with the plasmonic material in the step in the back region recessed from the GBS, so there is no increase in the spacing between the NFT and a large portion of the main pole.
