Scientific & Technical Objectives |
| Print | |
Through an integration of professional skills (chemists, physicists, engineers, materials scientists) from academic and industrial groups, the activity will approach different aspects of - media preparation,
- manostructuration and characterisation,
- magnetization reversal processes,
- numerical micromagnetic simulations,
- modelling and processing of the readback signal, and
- measurements of write/read recording characteristics.
The know how on the different aspects will be transferred from the lab size to commercial size products filling the gap between research laboratories and industrial production.
Thus the project will focus on the following specific scientific objectives: | SO1 | Development of a micromagnetic code on finite-element discretization in order to study the influence of realistic nanostructures on their magnetic switching behaviour.
| | SO2 | The production of a range of nanostructured architectures, in the form of nanoparticles, thin films and multilayers of various types and of different compositions, with properties as described in Roadmaps and predicted by theory. Production using environmental friendly chemistry and sputtering techniques. | | SO3 | EBL, FIB and NIL and (AAO) approach to pattern media with 1 Tbit/in2 density. | | SO4 | Develop modelling for magnetization dynamics/switching. | | SO5 | Develop a fundamental understanding of the relation between the multi-scale structure of the materials and the actual parameters of the behaviour, incorporating a multi-physics approach. | | SO6 | Develop modelling of the readback signal and processing architectures. | | SO7 | Achieve materials properties suitable for Tbit/in2 densities. | The technical objectives of TERAMAGSTOR are derived from the scientific objectives and rae expected to lead to a feasible magnetic storage media (materials) and storage systems as a whole: | TO1 | Scaling up of one-step production of tetragonal (fct) Fe-Pt.
| | TO2 | Self-assembly with areas of ~1 cm2 (extendable to larger areas) using nano-hole membranes | | TO3 | Develop approach and techniques for large-area ( ~ few cm2) nanoscale patterning by various techniques. | | TO4 | Develop smart system for flash annealing for direct fcc/fct conversion without grain growth | TO5
| Develop techniques for 1.8 “ and/or 2 ½ “ (new format for HD) deposition of ESM, PMM with 5<10 KOe and thermal stability 60kBT300K | Source for specifications: FP6-ICT-507336 “Ten year forecast for storage Evolution”, EU report
