Abstract :
In the present study, the switching field distribution (SFD) of the Tb/Pt/Ru/CoPtCr-SiO2 perpendicular media has been studied in relation to the Ar pressure at which the recording layer was deposited. The goal of the present study is to correlate the SFDs of the Tb/Pt/Ru/CoPtCr-SiO2 media with their intergranular exchange coupling and their grain size distribution.
