MAMR (Microwave assisted magnetic recording) is one of the candidate technologies to increase data areal density of HDD (hard disk drive). The concept of MAMR was already introduced by Prof. Jimmy Zhuf group based on modeling study and became famous since 2007. This time we confirmed the Mag-Flip type STO (Spin torque oscillator) for MAMR worked well experimentally. The principle and concept of MAMR with Mag-Flip STO will be explained in this talk. Also, the target specification of STO and its experimental behavior will be discussed. (This presentation is based on Intermag 2014 presentation AD-2 and GB-12.)
