Abstract
The possibility of SPM-based data storage is described regarding both its recording density and readout speed for ultrahigh density data storage. We consider their gap control to achieve high-speed readout. Suitable SPM-based storages are selected and their details are studied. As a result, scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM)- and atomic force microscope (AFM)-based storages are expected to be candidates for future storage. SNOM-based storage is for . AFM-based storage is for . Using new force modulation AFM pit recording, an ultrahigh recording density of and a readout speed of are demonstrated.Keywords
