Topology optimization of a heat-assisted magnetic recording write head to reduce transition curvature using a binary optimization algorithm utilizing the adjoint method

Abstract In this work, the possibility to reduce transition curvature in heat-assisted magnetic recording, using a conventional write head design, by shaping the recording field to counteract the circular profile of the heat pulse is investigated. Topology optimization of the head tip is performed i...
