Fundamental researches on magnetic recording with high areal density beyond 4 Tbit/in2

We carry out fundamental researches on magnetic recording with high areal density beyond 4 Tbit/in2. For this areal density, new magnetic recording method with an assistance by the external energy such as heat, microwave magnetic field and light is required. To realize an effective magnetization switching, we are developing a new magnetic recording medium suitable for the energy assisted magnetic recording by the control of the microstructure and magnetization dynamics.
