    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to spin-orbit torque (SOT) device comprising a bismuth antimony (BiSb) layer. The SOT device comprises a seed layer and a BiSb layer having a (012) orientation. The seed layer comprises at least one of an amorphous/nanocrystalline material with a nearest neighbor x-ray diffraction peak with a d-spacing in the range of about 2.02 Å to about 2.20 Å; a polycrystalline material having a (111) orientation and an a-axis of about 3.53 Å to about 3.81 Å; and a polycrystalline material having a cubic (100) or tetragonal (001) orientation and an a-axis of about 4.1 Å to about 4.7 Å. When the seed layer comprises an amorphous material or a polycrystalline material having a (111), the BiSb layer is doped, and the seed layer has a lower a/c ratio than when the seed layer comprises polycrystalline material having a cubic (100) or tetragonal (001) orientation.

    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 data storage devices, and more specifically, to a magnetic media drive employing a magnetic recording head. The head includes a trailing shield, a main pole, a MAMR stack disposed between the trailing shield and the main pole, side shields surrounding at least a portion of the main pole, and a structure disposed between the side shields and the main pole at a media facing surface (WS). The structure is fabricated from a material that is thermally conductive and electrically insulating/dissipative. The material has a thermal conductivity of at least 50 W/(m*K) and an electrical resistivity of at least 105 Ω*m. The structure helps dissipate joule heating generated from either the main pole or the MAMR stack into surrounding area without electrical shunting, leading to reduced heating or break-down induced failures.
