Abstract

We suggest a patterned ferromagnetic multibits element for an ultrahigh density magnetic recording media. The pattern is composed of a circular ferromagnetic disk in contact to four needle-shaped sharp equilateral triangles. By using micromagnetic simulation, we found that a spin configuration of circular ferromagnetic disk is modified with position of magnetic vortex core shifted from the center by selecting a specific combination of spin states of four needles. We explore the possibility of multibits recording by shifting magnetic vortex core position in the ferromagnetic element.
