Applications

Micromagnetic modelling is important to understand the behaviour of modern hard disk media and the research of novel materials and designs which could be incorporated into future hard disk platters.

Other emerging applications such as magnetic RAM can also benefit greatly from the investigation of micromagnetic systems offered through simulation techniques.

Figure 2.22: A schematic representation of non-patterned media is shown on the left, such as that used in traditional hard disk media (Albrecht et al., 2003, Süß, 2002); the thicker line delimits one bit. The representation shown on the right is that of patterned media with each ``dot'' containing a single bit
