    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape head of a tape drive, and methods of forming thereof. In one embodiment, a tape head for magnetic storage devices comprises a trailing shield, a leading shield, a first write pole coupled to the trailing shield, a second write pole coupled to the leading shield, and side shields spaced from the first write pole and the second write pole by a thin insulation layer. The side shields are further disposed between the trailing shield and the leading shield. In another embodiment, a tape head for magnetic storage devices comprises a main pole disposed between a trailing shield and a leading shield and a side shield disposed adjacent to the main pole. The side shield is further disposed between the trailing shield and the leading shield and spaced from the main pole by a thin insulation layer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a main pole at a media facing surface (MFS), a trailing shield at the MFS, and a heavy metal layer disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield at the MFS. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) is generated from the heavy metal layer and transferred to a surface of the main pole as a current passes through the heavy metal layer in a cross-track direction. The SOT executes a torque on the surface magnetization of the main pole, which reduces the magnetic flux shunting from the main pole to the trailing shield. With the reduced magnetic flux shunting from the main pole to the trailing shield, write-ability is improved.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The magnetic recording head comprises a first write head, a second write head, at least one read head, and a thermal fly height control element. The first write head is a wide writing write head comprising a first main pole and a first trailing shield. The second write head a narrow writing write head comprising a second main pole, a trailing gap, a second trailing shield, and one or more side shields. The first main pole has a shorter height and a greater width than the second main pole. The second main pole has a curved or U-shaped surface disposed adjacent to the trailing gap. The thermal fly height control element and the at least one read head are aligned with a center axis of the second main pole of the second write head.
