Control Of Magnetic Nanostructures
Description
Image of a microtrack region in a high density storage media that is about 100 A. Film thickness ~10-20 nm
Control of magnetic domain and and grain structure at nano-level crucial for high storage densities

Implications
Control of magnetic nanostructures is key to performance in most state of the art magnetic devices. These materials are used for variety of applications including MRAMs, SQUIDs and other wide range of devices.
