The effects of the switching field gradient and the optimal head-field intensity for thermally assisted magnetic recording were investigated using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, which adds a stochastic thermal field to an effective field. The switching field gradient was defined as the product of a space gradient of temperature dT/dx and a temperature gradient of anisotropy field dHk/dT under condition of the uniform head-field intensity. The signal-to-noise ratio at 1000 kfci was found to improve with increasing dT/dx and by applying the optimal dHk/dT.
