Magneto-optical recording materials

"As digital data storage technology undergoes enormous change, electrical engineers, physicists and materials scientists need to keep pace with the materials requirements for recording media. Expert contributors - together with world-class authorities Richard J. Gambino and Takao Suzuki - bring you a practical, comprehensive guide to materials design and selection for magneto-optical storage media."--BOOK JACKET. "This book explores multilayered thin films, exchanged coupled layers, materials used in current products, and materials of potential interest not yet available in practical applications. A detailed analysis concerning the physics of magneto-optical recording will help you make informed decisions about materials properties. You will also find an extensive discussion of systems and engineering design features for magneto-optical storage devices. This discussion will help you to understand how materials properties affect system performance."--BOOK JACKET.
