Abstract
The capability of contact perpendicular magnetic rigid disk recording was investigated by non-flying single-pole heads. Double-layered magnetic films for perpendicular magnetic recording were made by RF sputtering on non-texturing glass substrates. A novel head supporting and sliding method was introduced to make a contact rigid disk recording. The head can be floated by this at an extremely narrow spacing of 20 to 30 nm on the disk under its self-weight less than 1 g. Using the non-flying head slider, not only similar high density recording characteristics were obtained but also remarkably high durabilities of the heads and the disks were observed as comparable to those in contact recording and reproducing on flexible perpendicular magnetic disks.
