Abstract
This article addresses the basic physics of the magnetic recording process with special emphasis on thin-film recording media for high-density magnetic recording. Magnetization reversal, recording theory as well as noise theory is reviewed. The onset of super-paramagnetism, which potentially limits the storage density, is discussed in detail.Keywords
