Abstract

In this study, the influence of soft-under-layer (SUL) on duplication characteristics was investigated. The magnetic field distributions around a slave medium were calculated. In the case of perpendicular field application (PFA), influence of SUL on duplication characteristics doesn´t almost change even though duplication field strength increases. On the other hand, in the case of in-plane field application (IFA), the influence of SUL on duplication characteristics is negligible even though a duplication field strength increases. The influence of SUL on duplication characteristics becomes smaller for ultra-high density perpendicular recording.
