We have reported the dependence of the magnetic and recording properties of CoPtCr recording media on the thickness of the Cr underlayer. It was inferred from XRD data that grain-to-grain epitaxy of the Cr with the CoPtCr was responsible for the interaction observed between these layers. However, no cross-sectional TEM (XTEM) work was performed to confirm this inference. In this paper, we report the application of new techniques for preparing XTEM specimens from actual magnetic recording disks, and for layer-by-layer micro-diffraction with an electron probe elongated parallel to the surface of the deposited structure which elucidate the effect of the crystallographic structure of the Cr on that of the CoPtCr.XTEM specimens were prepared from magnetic recording disks by modifying a technique used to prepare semiconductor specimens. After 3mm disks were prepared per the standard XTEM procedure, these disks were then lapped using a tripod polishing device. A grid with a single 1mmx2mm hole was then glued with M-bond 610 to the polished side of the disk.

AbstractTwo main ingredients of plasmonics are surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) as they provide a high degree of concentration of electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of metal surfaces, which is well beyond that allowed by the diffraction limit of optics. Those properties have been used in the new technique of heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) to overcome an existing limit of conventional magnetic recording by utilizing a near-field transducer (NFT). The NFT designs are based on excitation of surface plasmons on a metal structure, which re-radiate with a subdiffraction limited light spot confined in the near field. In this paper, we propose a novel “droplet”-shaped NFT, which takes full advantage of a recenltly proposed Mach–Zehnder Interferometer (MZI), a coupling arrangement that allows optimal coupling of light to the transducer. The droplet design ensures better impedance match with the recording media and, consequently, better coupling of power. The droplet design results in very high enhancement of the electric field and allows the confinement of light in a spot size much smaller than the present stateof- the-art lollipop transducer.
