In heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), a laser is employed above the read-write
transducer to provide energy to the media, lowering its coercivity. However, the laser also …

We have studied the reliability of a near-field transducer (NFT) embedded in a magnetic
recording slider used for heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) in hard disk drives with a …

The spacing between the flying head and the rapidly rotating disk in hard disk drives
continues to decrease in order to grow the areal density. In heat-assisted magnetic …

In terms of head media spacing (HMS) control in heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR),
it is important to measure laser power-induced protrusion in writing. A near-field transducer …

A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk, wherein the
head comprises a write assist element. Data is written to the disk using the write assist …
