Abstract

We visualized the magnetic flux density of the cross track direction in the pseudo soft underlayer (SUL) of perpendicular magnetic recording media. We deposited a pseudo-SUL on the fabricated slider of a perpendicular magnetic recording head, and used electron holography to visualize and quantify the magnetic flux magnitude and distribution in the pseudo-SUL. We observed the pseudo-SUL magnetized by the write field from the writer pole tip. The magnetic flux magnitude and full width at half maximum increased with an increasing write field. We observed a correspondence between an actual recording situation and the electron holography observation.
