The superparamagnetic limit is one of the main aspects which leads to novel concepts to increase the storage density in magnetic data storage devices. Patterned media, a concept in which a magnetic bit is represented by one specific nanostructure within a perfectly ordered array can be achieved by depositing magnetic materials onto spherical particle arrays. Co/Pt multilayers on nanoparticles, as well post-annealed FePt nanoparticle caps in their L1₀ phase, serve as examples for the creation of single-domain magnetic cap structures and the prospects for application in patterned media will be explored. A percolated medium, where domain-walls are effectively pinned by defect sites can be either created by the deposition of CoPt alloys onto close-packed, or by the deposition of Co/Pt multilayers onto none-close-packed particle arrays. These film systems have been characterized both structurally by XRD and TEM and magnetically by SQUID magnetometry and MFM. The effective pinning of domain-walls was further investigated by in-field MFM.
