Abstract

The SNR performance of DTM is evaluated through micromagnetic simulation. The benefits of recording on DTM are discussed and compared to conventional media. In the micromagnetic model, the thin film media is approximated by the Voronoi-shaped three-dimensional array of grains. The anisotropy axis of each grain, oriented perpendicular to the thin film plane, is chosen to have a Gaussian distribution. The signal to media noise ratio (SMNR) and signal to electronic noise ratio (SENR) are calculated based on the signal and noise at the sampling points. The SMNR and SENR are used to calculate the total SNR.
