  1. Understanding Magnetic “Exchange Pinning” (IRG-3) Supported by UMN MRSEC DMR 0212302 • Magnetic storage of digital data is now possible at densities approaching 1 Terabit per square inch at a cost of only about a tenth of a cent per Megabit. • Magnetic field sensors used in hard disks rely on the coupling between two types of magneticmaterials: a ferromagnet and an antiferromagnet. • IRG-3 students Jyo Saha, Mike Lund, and Mun Chan, and postdoc Jeff Parker havecompleted a comprehensive comparison ofthe experimental properties of these systemswith micromagnetic simulations. • A unique feature of this work was its realistictreatment of nanoscale defects, allowing for anassessment of their impact on technologicallyimportant phenomena such as reversal asymmetry and training.
