Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is one of the leading technologies to extend magnetic storage. Significant progress has been achieved in head and media fabrication [M. Seigler, IEEE Trans. Magn. 44, 119 (2008); Y. Peng, TMRC, Seagate Research, 2008], resulting in a basic technology demonstration (C. Hardie, ODS Conference Proceedings, 2008) of HAMR. Both field and field-gradient limitations of a conventional perpendicular recording are overcome by engineering the thermal profile (notably the gradient) and recording at a temperature near Tc (thus requiring a smaller head field). We have used a micromagnetic recording model to study the effect of thermal and field-gradient alignment in HAMR by varying the separation between the thermal spot and the leading edge of the head field. The output of the recording model includes transition jitter, which is based on Monte Carlo simulations of isolated transitions. We use a realistic granular medium with HK ∼50-80 kOe and a grain size of ∼2.5-6 nm that covers a broad range of HAMR media parameters. The model indicates that HAMR can achieve >1 Tbyte/in.2 using a grain size of 6 nm and is scalable to >4 Tbyte/in.2 on a granular media by careful alignment of the thermal and magnetic field gradients. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
