Abstract: | Quasi-static recording experiments employing a hybrid single-pole-type write head and a vertical magnetoresistive transducer (MRT) read head are presented. The MRT is shown to be able to measure asymmetries of the remanent magnetization of transitions recorded in perpendicular and longitudinal media. The effects of varying the write field angle by adjusting the write shim placement with respect to the auxiliary pole is shown to be useful in determining the resultant remanent magnetization. Dynamic recording responses correlate with the quasi-static measurements. A model of recorded transitions is presented which combines in-plane arctangent and vertical complementary arctangent remanent magnetization distributions. |
