Book Description
This book treats the various aspects of noise from magnetic recording media and the impact on system performance. Several authors present discussions of: materials and processes used to fabricate media for computer data storage, theoretical aspects of noise and micromagnetic behavior, experimental methods and characterization, and system analysis. In the past decade thin film recording media have largely displaced particlate media in rigid disk recording systems. During the same period of time the field has evolved from the prevalent belief that thin film media were virtually noiseless to a detailed understanding of the origin and the manifestation of noise in these new media. This understanding has lead to the ability to make the very low noise media needed in present applications. The present state of understanding of both particulate and thin film media is summarized.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“It is obvious to say that noise is one of the most important factors influencing system performance. But details about noise and how media noise can be influenced and measured have not been described earlier in one book together with micromagnetic observation methods and computer modelling. It was an excellent idea to bring the knowledge of seven well-known scientists from 3 companies and 2 universities together in one handsome book … This book is a ‘must’ for all those people who are involved in the research and development of thin film media.” Cock Lodder CAMST Record, Netherlands, 199
