Abstract

This article reviews the recent advances in patterned magnetic nanostructures for application in high‐density recording. In this connection we discuss: (1) the fundamental limits of magnetic recording on conventional magnetic disks and the need for newer materials; (2) the state‐of‐the art technology for creating arrays of magnetic nanostructures; and (3) prospects and problems of high‐ or ultrahigh‐density recording using these nanostructured arrays.
