Abstract
In order to investigate the mechanism of magnetization reversal in Co-Cr perpendicular recording media, the angular dependence of the hysteresis loss was investigated. For a double-layer medium consisting of a Co-Cr layer and a Permalloy backing layer, it is easy to show that rotational magnetization reversal occurs in the Co-Cr layer. Judging from both the angular dependences of H c and of the hysteresis loss, the initial growth layer and the columnar structure layer in Co-Cr sputtered film were found to undergo magnetization reversal by domain wall motion and by rotation, respectively. Other Co-Cr films with different M s and H c values were also studied with respect to the prevailing mechanism of magnetization reversal.

Recent subjects and progresses in research on Co-Cr perpendicular magnetic recording media

TL;DR: The Co-Cr medium, if it has a fine columnar structure, shows very high recording resolution, since the columns are predicted to show a rotational mode of magnetization reversal, and also offer an ideal perpendicular magnetization mode as mentioned in this paper.

The coercive force and rotational hysteresis of elongated ferromagnetic particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the coercive force of an infinite ferromagnetic cylinder is calculated as a function of the radius and of the inclination of the axis to the applied field, assuming that only curling and rotation in unison take place and that whenever the curling is associated with a discontinuous jump, the magnetization is brought to the lower energy state given by Stoner and Wohlfarth.

Magnetic Domain Structures in CoCr Films Studied by Lorentz Microscopy

TL;DR: Magnetization distribution and behavior of magnetization in CoCr sputtered films of various thickness are studied by high-resolution Lorentz microscopy in this paper, where the authors show that magnetization reversal changes from the domain wall displacement mode in the 200 A thick film to the rotational mode in 1000 A thickness film.
