Investigation on Magnetic Fields From Field-Generating Layer in MAMR

Microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) has recently emerged as a candidate to solve the trilemma in magnetic recording. In this study, the fundamental characteristics of the magnetic fields generated by a field-generating layer (FGL) are investigated using micromagnetic simulations. The relationships between the fields generated by the FGL and magnetic parameters, such as interlayer exchange coupling strength (A_perp) and the anisotropy constant (K), are investigated. In addition, oscillation behaviors are investigated by examining the magnetization configurations of the FGL. A Bloch-line-like magnetic structure is observed in the FGL in the stable oscillation mode. The Bloch-line-like structure functions as a rotation axis. However, it disappears in the unstable oscillation mode.
