摘要:
An element of an apparatus is magnetized so as to generate a magnetic field pattern around the element. To achieve this, use is made of a magnetizing coil, and the element and the magnetizing coil are moved relative to each other, the magnetizing coil carrying an alternating current of substantially constant amplitude as well as a signal current. Preferably, there is a phase difference between the signal current and an intended magnetic field pattern.
摘要:
A device for detecting a magnetic field, which device comprises a magneto-resistive multilayer structure comprising a first magnetic layer (1) which is separated from a second magnetic layer by an interposed non-magnetic layer, the multilayer structure having a first in-plane reference axis (R.sub.1) coinciding with the direction in which magnetic flux is offered to the multilayer structure during operation, and a second in-plane reference axis (R.sub.2) which is perpendicular to the first reference axis (R.sub.1), whereby the magnetic easy axis (E.sub.1) of the first magnetic layer (1) is canted through an acute in-plane angle .alpha. with respect to the second reference axis (R.sub.2), and the magnetic easy axis (E.sub.2) of the second magnetic layer is canted in the opposite sense through an acute in-plane angle .beta. with respect to the second reference axis (R.sub.2). Such a device lends itself to application in a magnetic head, for sensitive retrieval of magnetically-encoded data from a carrier in the form of a tape, disc or card.

摘要:
Thin-film magnetic head having a head face (103) and comprising a magnetoresistive element (109) oriented transversely to the head face and a flux-guiding element (107) of a magnetically permeable material terminating in the head face. A peripheral area (109a) of the magnetoresistive element extending parallel to the head face is present opposite the flux-guiding element for forming a magnetic connection between the magnetoresistive element and the flux-guiding element. The flux-guiding element and the peripheral area of the magnetoresistive element constitute a common magnetic contact face (111), while the magnetically permeable material of the flux-guiding element is electrically insulating.
摘要:
Single-channel magnetic head having a head face (1) which extends in a first direction (I) in which a magnetic record carrier (3) is relatively movable with respect to the magnetic head, and in a second direction (II) transverse to the first direction. The magnetic head has a structure of layers which, viewed in the first direction, are situated one on top of the other and extend substantially in the second direction and a third direction (III) transverse to the first and the second direction. The structure is provided with a magnetoresistive measuring element (5), a first magnetic element (7) and a second magnetic element (9). Both magnetic elements are electrically conducting, while the measuring element is arranged electrically in series between the two magnetic elements for passing a measuring current (i) through the measuring element substantially in the third direction. Each magnetic element has an electric contact face (7a, 9a). To obtain a stable single-channel magnetic head having a narrow, well-defined scanning width, at least one magnetic element extending as far as the head face has an extensiveness which is larger in the second direction than in the third direction. This extensiveness in the second direction is also larger than the effective width (w) of the measuring element. In the third direction, the relevant magnetic element has a larger relative magnetic permeability (.mu..sub.rIII) than in the second direction.
