Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and hard disk drive (HDD) technologies represent a significant leap forward in data storage, promising substantially higher areal densities through the precise ...

In conventional heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), a laser is used to locally heat the recording medium to facilitate data writing. However, the thermal energy applied is largely dissipated ...

What is SMR and what it can enable? What applications are ideal for SMR pairing? How to tell if SMR storage solutions are right for your data center. Driven by an explosion of data creation and ...

Laser heating generates a temperature gradient in the MnPt layer, which induces spin currents (green arrows) that are injected into the FePt layer. These spin currents generate spin torque, which ...
