    摘要: A stabilized magnetic memory cell including a data storage layer having an interior region and a pair of end regions near a pair of opposing edges of the data storage layer and a stabilizing material that pins a magnetization in the end regions to a predetermined direction. A method for stabilizing a magnetic memory cell includes the steps of applying a magnetic field that rotates a magnetization in a pair of opposing side regions of a data storage layer of the magnetic memory cell toward a predetermined direction and that reduces free poles in a pair of opposing end regions of the magnetic memory cell, thereby reducing the likelihood of unpredictable switching behavior in the end regions.

    摘要: A magnetic memory with enhanced half-select margin includes an array of magnetic memory cells each having a data storage layer with an easy axis and an array of conductors each having an angle of orientation with respect to the easy axes that is preselected to enhance half-select margin in the magnetic memory. The angle of orientation is such that the longitudinal write field is enhanced and the perpendicular write field is minimized in a selected memory cell. The magnetic memory cells optionally includes a structured data storage layer including a control layer that minimizes the likelihood of half-select switching in the unselected magnetic memory cells.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive transducer includes at least one magnetoresistive element having a transverse easy axis. The use of a transverse easy axis prevents magnetic domains from forming in the magnetoresistive elements and results in a noise-free device. Various techniques for producing a transverse easy axis include the use of stress, and a magneto strictive material, during the formation of the element to orient the anisotropy of the element transverse to orient the anisotropy of the element transverse to the element, formation of the element in the presence of a magnetic field, high temperature anneal of the element, or any other method of forming the element with a prebiased state.

    摘要: A method for reducing Barkhausen noise in dual stripe magnetoresistive recording heads. The topography of the bottom conductor is controlled, specifically the conductor sidewall angle at the edge of the track is defined to be less than 45.degree. from the substrate plane. Restricting the conductor sidewall profile in this manner eliminates sources of magnetic domain nucleation.
