  • Abstract
    Thin film media under consideration for high density recording in the range of 5 Gbit/in2 and beyond will utilize extremely small grains in order to achieve acceptable signal-to-noise ratio limits. Numerical simulations of the reversal process including thermal fluctuations are utilized to determine medium coercivity versus field duration. Typically media with grain diameter 10 nm will have a 23% decrease in coercivity over a 1-100 nsec range
