Abstract
An apparatus and a method for measuring the magnetic properties of recording media. Particularly, the invention is directed to the measurement of the coercivity of recording media having high coercivity values. The apparatus for measuring the magnetic properties of recording media contains a thermal source to increase the temperature of a selected portion of the recording media, thus temporally decreasing the coercivity of the recording media in the selected portion. Magnetic transitions are induced by applying a magnetic field to the regions of the medium affected by the thermal source. The electromagnet applies an incrementally increasing DC field to the selected portion to generate variable magnetization data.
