    HDD(Hard Disk Drive)


    HDD records data by magnetizing ferromagnetic materials directionally. HDD have a read and write head. Each surface is conceptually divided into small regions referred to as magnetic domains. A write head magnetize a region by generating a strong local magnetic field. Iron, cobalt, Nickel and Chromium are used. Reading a signal, Reading no signal, Writing a signal.

    HDD(Hard Disk Drive)


    There are two types of recording given perpendicular and parallel recording.

    HDD(Hard Disk Drive)

    FM Coding technique is usually followed for storing data. Only a change in magnetic field produces an electric current.

    Magnetic Properties
    Lines of force are spins forming Vortices. There are two vortices present at each pole and one is larger than the other. There are vortex which exist within another vortex. The spin can be changed easily by using a magnetic material.

    Spintronics
    Electrons possess both spins and charges. Functional electronic devices have not been realized in pure metal because they have dimension larger than the mean free-path of electrons. In metallic magnetic material it is easy to control the spin of electrons. Magnetic semi-conductors are those devices where we can control both the spin and charge of electron. Areal recording will increases by using spintronic. Computer Science Engineering 12

    Spin Transport
    In classical transport one propagates probability and in the case of quantum transport one propagates amplitudes. Transport time is given by t=l2/2D, where l is the length and D is the diffusion constant.

    Spin relaxation
    The time take to change a spin from one direction to another. Spin relaxation rate 1/ts =w2Tc

    Giant Magnetoresistance(GMR)
    Change in electrical resistance based on whether the magnetization are parallel or anti parallel. Material is made up of vacuum evaporation technique. Multi-layer GMR and spin valve GMR are commonly used. The read write head of a magnetic disk can be made of giant magnetoresistance material.
