A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium includes a substrate, a split heat-sink structure (SHSS) and a magnetic recording layer. The SHSS includes a first heat-sink layer disposed on the substrate, a heat-sink break layer (HSBL) disposed on the first heat-sink layer, and a second heat-sink layer disposed on the HSBL. The magnetic recording layer is disposed on the SHSS. The SHSS is configured to enable use of a reduced operating current of the laser while maintaining about the same write performance properties as a thermal barrier layer, heat-assisted magnetic recording (TBLHAMR) medium that includes a thermal barrier layer (TBL) and a heat-sink layer that is greater than about 20% thicker than the thickness of the SHSS. A HAMR data storage device that incorporates the HAMR medium within a HAMR disk, and a method for making the HAMR medium are also described.

The present invention relates to the technical field of superlattice magneto-optical material technologies, and in particular, to a superlattice material, and a preparation method and application thereof. According to description of embodiments, the superlattice material provided in the present invention has both a relatively good magnetic property of a ferrous garnet material and a good photoelectric absorption characteristic of a two-dimensional semiconductor material such as graphene. Magneto-optical Kerr effect data obtained through testing shows that: A saturated magneto-optical Kerr angle of the superlattice material in the present invention is 13 mdeg in a magnetic field of 2500 Oe, and a magneto-optical Kerr angle of the superlattice material is increased by 2.5 times compared with a nonsuperlattice ferrimagnetic thin film material into which no two-dimensional material is inserted, thereby achieving magneto-optical effect enhancement.
