Outline of Research at the Start

We will provide new understanding on materials selection/design of STO and media for MAMR. The success of this research proposal will enable us to demonstrate, for the first time in the world, STO device and media for MAMR as the next generation of HDDs with a real density>2 Tb/in2.

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 (HDD). However, its most essential part, “spin-torque-oscillator (STO)”, has not been realized. We succeeded in development of a novel STO satisfying the requirement of MAMR. We employed advanced micromagnetic simulations and designed a novel STO; all-in-plane (AIP)-STO. The designed STO was fabricated experimentally. We successfully studied the complex magnetization dynamics of AIP-STO by developing a new analysis method using injection locking to an external microwave field. The second fold of this research is design and development of media material for next generation recording technology. We developed TEM image based micromagnetic simulator enabling high throughput evaluation of nanodefects and micromagnetic parameters of media. Our achievements had a great impact in academia as well as HDD industries.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

This work provided guidelines toward realization of next generation magnetic recording technology with a great impact in academia and data storage industries. This study will has paved a way to increase the data storage capacity of hard disks which is important factor for realization of society 5.0
