Research abstract
It is proposed to design, fabricate and test a Read/Write NanoHead using a Carbon NanoTube electron beam emitter and to use the NanoHead to write marks to an appropriate recording media. The goal is to produce a NanoHead capable of writing 10nm wide marks and able to be pulsed at a high data rate. When used with a Phase Change recording media a CD sized (120mm dia.)disc should enable storage of about 8TB of digital data.
