Nanomaterials have, by definition, one or more dimension in the nanometer scale (≤ 100
nm) range and subsequently show novel properties from their bulk materials. The synthesis …

After more than 30 years of research, hard disk drives using perpendicular recording are
finally commercially available. This review is a follow-up of a review written in 1999 and …

Perpendicular recording technology has recently been introduced in hard disk drives for
computer and consumer electronics applications. Although conceptualized in the late 1970s …

In this article, a detailed overview of the methodology to design a write transducer for
recording onto perpendicular media at areal densities beyond 1 Tbit/in. 2 is presented. The …

In this paper a preparation method for high moment CoFe thin films with soft magnetic
properties is reported. A full control of coercivity in a series of 20-nm-thick CoFe films has …

Air-stable iron nanoparticles (Fe0-NP), are of great interest in fields such as catalytic
systems and groundwater purification. In the present study, a new and simple method was …

A promising soft magnetic under layer (SUL) structure consisting of anti-parallel coupled soft
layers (APS) is investigated to improve the performance of high-density perpendicular …

Artificial spin ice systems have opened experimental windows into a range of model
magnetic systems through the control of interactions among nanomagnet moments. This …

In this tutorial, focused-ion-beam (FIB)-based fabrication is considered from a very
unconventional angle. FIB is considered not as a fabrication tool that can be used for mass …

Thin film technologies are very important for applications in modern solid-state electronic
devices, information storage, optical or protective coatings and various sensing devices …
