Abstract: Finite-element modeling of single pole (SPT) write head with double-layered medium for perpendicular magnetic recording is investigated. In carrying out 3-D eddy current transient finite-element analysis, reducing the medium area is one key factor for computation time reduction while maintaining sufficient solution accuracy. It is also investigated the number of layer divisions for thin metallic under-layer. The results validate the modeling of SPT head with double-layered medium.

Keywords: perpendicular magnetic recording, write heads, high frequency recording, finite element methods, model validation
