Abstract
Written bits on 0.6 to 10 µm wide discrete tracks have been studied. Lorentz microscopy shows the bits to be well-defined and in saturated remanence state. Ripple structure observed within the bit extends to the track edges. The transition zone is about 3000 Å in width and consists of both ripple and vortex-like structures.
