Abstract

Microwave assisted magnetic recording is one interesting magnetic recording technology to improve writability for high areal density of hard disk drive. In this work, the role of intergrain and intragrain coupling and microwave field is investigated by micromagnetic simulation based on the Landau - Lifshitz - Gilbert equation. The results show that the switching field, Hsw, of media with microwave field, Hac, of 10 GHz is lower than that for media without Hac. The exchange coupling between nearest neighbor grains hardly affects the Hsw of media and slightly affects the slope of hysteresis loop. In addition, the slope of hysteresis loops and Hsw decrease with increasing exchange coupling in each grain. The results from this work can lead to obtain the improvement writability and increasing areal density of hard disk drive.
