S. Gadetsky et al., THERMOMAGNETIC RECORDING IN AMORPHOUS TBFECO FILMS ON PATTERNED SUBSTRATES, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 31(6), 1995, pp. 3253-3255
Magnetization reversal and thermomagnetic recording in amorphous TbFeC
o films on patterned glass substrates were studied. Two types of patte
rns were examined: 1x1 mu m(2) raised and lowered square patches. Pinn
ing of the domain walls at the side-walls of the patches was observed.
Thermomagnetic recording experiments confirm the ability of patterned
substrates to confine recorded domains within boundaries defined by t
he side-walls.
