Figure 6.11: The model of a perfect bit pattern. It consists of 30 perfectly written bits and<br />

is used for our read back signal calculations. The track width is 120 nm and the bit length<br />

60 nm. The layer thickness is 12 nm and the spontaneous polarization is 0.44 T. The bits<br />

are alternately magnetized <strong>in</strong> positive and negative x-direction.<br />
