Conventional magnetic recording technologies are expected to reach storage density limits
in the near future. Therefore, using new technologies is essential to obtain high densities …

In this paper, we first present a recording physics based analytical channel model for bit-
patterned media recording (BPMR) systems with staggered islands configuration. We further …

The readback signal of patterned media storage (PMS) is corrupted by a two-dimensional
interference consisting of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-track interference (ITI). In …

The limitations of current lithographic techniques result in a variation of the geometry of the
fabricated islands in bit-patterned media. These variations give rise to jitter in the replay …

We propose a low complexity detection technique for multihead multitrack recording
systems. By exploiting sparseness of two-dimensional partial response (PR) channels, we …

Magnetic recording, invented over 100 years ago, has played a key role in the development
of information storage technologies, including analog audio, video, and digital data …

We measured the fluctuation in shape of magnetic islands in bit patterned media fabricated
by laser interference lithography. This fluctuation can be accurately described by a model …

Abstract Bit-Patterned Media (BPM) has been recognised as one of the candidate
technologies to achieve an areal density beyond 1Tb/in2 by fabricating single-domain …

In the past perpendicular magnetic recording on continuous media has served as the
storage mechanism for the hard-disk drive (HDD) industry, allowing for growth in areal …

Patterned media storage (PMS) is one of the promising technologies to overcome the
limitations of the conventional magnetic recording. For a high areal density PMS, both inter …
