11- Computer Simulations
of the Evolution of Microstructure in Metal-Oxide
Thin Films for Magnetic Recording Media. |
Advisor: K. Barmak, MSE.
Hard disk drives have been a critical hardware component
of the information revolution. In the past
fifty years, these drives have seen a near 100-million
fold increase in the storage density of the recording
medium. This explosion of recording density has been
in part due to our ability to engineer the microstructure
of the medium. In this project, you will examine
the evolution of this microstructure in two-phase,
i.e., metal-oxide, thin films for next generation
recording media. |
