Popis: Angular coercivity provides a method for studying magnetization‐reversal mechanisms and has stimulated theoretical interests particularly for recording materials.1 This paper reports our experimental results on the angular variation of coercivity in different magnetic media prepared by various means, and compares these data. These include CoNiCr/Cr‐type longitudinal media and Ba‐ferrite–type particulate longitudinal media for hard‐disk applications, and CoNi‐type oblique evaporated longitudinal media for video recording. Results from sputtered CoNiCr/Cr media showed a symmetric M‐type curve and the peak height decreased with intergranular coupling.2 In addition, the peak position also changed systematically with grain decoupling. M‐type curves were also observed when the underlayer Cr thickness was varied, but the peak location remained unchanged. Results from Ba‐ferrite media prepared with different packing densities exhibit similar curves as those for CoNiCr/Cr media. However, oriented Ba‐ferrite media ...
