Simulation of bit patterned media applied to data storage devices

Bit patterned media is a promising candidate for the next generation of high density magnetic recording media, given its nano structure and special magnetic isolation properties, then new challenges arise in terms of construction and recording. In the present book we showcase how these challenges compare to the ones hindering the development of classical multi grain magnetic recording media and explore a way to relax the manufacturing quality requirements of this novel approach to magnetic recording.
