Fundamental problems • A write field exceeding 17 kOe is not expected, even if the single- pole-trimmed (SPT) write head is perfectly designed and the SPT head is combined with perpendicular media that have a soft magnetic underlayer. • Heat assisted magnetic recording has the potential to enable data storage on media having extremely high values. • With this technique, one can use media with exceedingly high anisotropy fields, such as L10 FePt that has a thermally stable grain size smaller than 3 nm. Theoretically, such a small grain size could support areal densities well beyond 1 Tbit/in2.

Written bit patterns of a single track in the HAMR System • Head-medium speed is 40m/s • Head-medium spacing is 5nm • The area density is beyond • 1Tb/in2 (a) Instant temperature distribution in the cross track direction, (b) Writing field distribution of the SPT head in the cross track direction, (c)(d) Written bit patterns of a single track in the HAMR system and the relationship with laser and main pole
Conclusion • The written bit patterns of the magnetic layer are determined not only by the write head geometry, but by the way the media responds to temperature and the strength of the write head field. • the selection of the SUL material is crucial for the cooling process • The distance from laser to rear/front edge should be less than 41.4/1.4nm respectively, which is an important parameter for designing an integrated HAMR head.
