| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) is a promising technology to overcome the stagnated areal density increase of hard disk drives. However, its most essential part, spin-torque-oscillator (STO), has not been realized due to the lack of fundamental studies. In this work, we combined a novel micromagnetic simulation, device fabrications/analysis, and advanced structure/interface characterizations to design material/geometry for the STO devices with desired performance for MAMR. This innovative fundamental research lead to design and experimental demonstration of a new type of STO, all-in-plane STO for MAMR. We experimentally demonstrated the dynamics of the out-of-plane precession (OPP) mode oscillation for field generating layer with oscillation cone angle of 70o and frequency of 16 GHz. This fundamental study not only had a great academic impact but also has attracted a great attention from media industry.
