Abstract

See full text

HAMR media with a magnetic recording layer having a reduced Curie temperature and methods of fabricating the HAMR media are provided. One such HAMR medium includes a substrate, a heat sink layer on the substrate, an interlayer on the heat sink layer, and a multi-layer magnetic recording layer on the interlayer. In such case, the multi-layer magnetic recording layer includes a first magnetic recording layer including an alloy selected from FePtX and CoPtX, where X is a material selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ni, and combinations thereof, a second magnetic recording layer on the first magnetic recording layer and having at least one material different from the materials of the first magnetic recording layer, and a third magnetic recording layer on the second magnetic recording layer and having at least one material different from the materials of the first magnetic recording layer.
