Wed Jan 29, 02-04:00pm, 8-119
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: Freshmen especially invited!
Information in hard disks, tapes and magneto-optical disks is stored as magnetization patterns in a thin magnetic layer. We will discuss how information is written and read back from these storage devices, and what magnetic properties are needed to give the optimum performance. We will also compare magnetic storage with other formats such as CD-ROMs and DVDs.
