            Abstract : 
This paper investigates a new class of coupled and continuous (CGC) perpendicular media consisting of CoCrPt-SiO2 granular layer with magnetically-decoupled small grains. This paper describes the role of inter-granular exchange coupling in the recording performance of CGC media structure.
