Research into the optimal utilization of magnetic materials in plated wire memories

Plated wire memories are particularly sensitive to two kinds of perturbations because of the absence of material separation between neighbouring memory points along a plated wire. During the read process, it is difficult to localize the magnetization rotation. Therefore we studied the field and the magnetization distribution, and computed the gathered flux. We propose new high density structures from our computer program results. During the write process, the written domain spreads during multiple writings. This may lead to the destruction of the information previously recorded in the neighbouring cells. Two processes have been proposed to avoid this drawback. (author)
