Popis: We have used a static write-read tester to study the reading and writing of bit patterns on arrays of square bits cut with a focused ion beam into granular perpendicular recording media. We have written square-wave bit patterns on arrays of magnetically isolated islands with periods between 80-248 nm, with the recording linear density matched to this pattern period. These measurements clearly reveal the onset of single domain behavior of the islands for periods
