Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a PMR media for use in a HDD. The PMR media has an amorphous ferri-magnetic material layer disposed within the capping structure. The amorphous ferri-magnetic material layer reduces the noise. The amorphous ferri-magnetic material layer may be disposed between capping layer or on top of the capping layers. Additionally, the amorphous ferri-magnetic material layer may contain Tb.
