A method of forming a memory device having magnetic tracks individually comprising a plurality of magnetic domains having domain walls, includes forming an elevationally outer substrate material of uniform chemical composition. The uniform composition material is partially etched into to form alternating regions of elevational depressions and elevational protrusions in the uniform composition material. A plurality of magnetic tracks is formed over and which angle relative to the alternating regions. Interfaces of immediately adjacent of the regions individually form a domain wall pinning site in individual of the magnetic tracks. Other methods, including memory devices independent of method, are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a metallic hard magnetic material selected from an at least binary ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic compound, with the metallic hard magnetic material including at least two different elements selected from the group consisting of 3d and 4f elements, where the metallic hard magnetic material is under an external magnetic field B of 0.1 T.

A method for writing data to a magnetic data storage medium includes detecting whether the duration, before occurrence of a data transition, of data to be written exceeds a predetermined threshold, and, when the duration, before the occurrence of the data transition, of the data to be written exceeds the predetermined threshold, writing the data by applying an initial pulse and then maintaining a steady-state write current for a defined interval, and when the duration, before the occurrence of the data transition, of the data to be written is at most equal to the predetermined threshold, writing the data by applying the initial pulse without applying a steady-state write current before the data transition. The predetermined threshold may be determined by size of a magnetic bubble formed when writing a single bit to the magnetic data storage medium. A subsequent pulse may be applied following the defined interval.
