Resumo

A recording scheme employing combined perpendicular and longitudinal modes is proposed here. An isolated transition is composed of a regular longitudinal transition and a pulse magnetization in the perpendicular direction. The perpendicular component directs the short wavelength flux favorably toward the head. The isolated pulse in this recording mode has a similar waveform to that of a longitudinal medium but with greatly reduced PW50. Furthermore, the combined perpendicular and longitudinal recording offers improved thermal stability as well as channel compatibility with existing recording systems. Methods to achieve this recording mode by controlling the medium's orientation ratio are also discussed.
