Scientists have examined thin films of Dysprosium-Cobalt sputtered onto a nanostructured membrane at BESSY II. They showed that new patterns of magnetization could be written in a quick and easy manner after warming the sample to only 80 degrees Celsius, which is a much lower temperature as compared to conventional Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording systems.
