Abstract
We discuss various mechanisms that lead to a high crystallization rate of the recording layer in a phase change disk. The role of interface layers, recording layer composition and its thickness is especially emphasized. Disks with a data bit rate beyond 40 Mbit/s have been realized.Keywords
