| 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.
