The 28^th Magnetic Recording Conference (TMRC 2017) was held on August 2 - 4, 2017 at the Tsukuba International Congress Center (EPOCHAL TSUKUBA) in Tsukuba, Japan.

TMRC 2017 focused on future magnetic storage technologies for hard disk drives and solid state memories. 38 invited papers of the highest quality were presented orally at the conference and published in the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. Poster sessions was also held consecutive to the oral sessions and feature posters from the invited speakers and accepted contributed posters.

Topics of interest include;

Advanced Magnetic Recording for 2 Tbits/in² including Readers, Writers, Servo, Tribology, HDI, Signal Processing.

Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording (TDMR)

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR)

Heated Dot Magnetic Recording (HDMR)

Magnetic Solid State Memory (MRAM, STT-RAM, Racetrack)

Alternative Magnetic Recording Technologies (SMR, MAMR, Tape, All Optical Switching)

Magnetic Solid State Memory (MRAM, STT-MRAM, VC-MRAM, SOT-MRAM)

Fundamentals (Metrology, Tooling, Materials, Recording Physics)
