摘要: This letter discusses an alternative storage approach to conventional magnetic data storage. The uses a 32×32 array of scanning probe microscopes working in parallel read and write as small indentations polymer medium. results have densities 100–200 Gbit/in.2. At such densities, it is shown that well over half the works, at lower more than 80% levers are working.
