摘要： Present invention discloses novel designs of carbon nanotube spin valve structures for incorporation into magnetic storage and magnetic sensing devices, such as magnetic read head, MRAM, and magnetic field sensor. One of the designs is an in-stack carbon nanotube spin valve, which consists of a ferromagnetic free layer and a ferromagnetic pinned layer. The two layers are physically separated, although they reside in parallel planes. A single or plurality of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes are in between the two layers, and in electrical contact with both. The other design is a planar carbon nanotube spin valve, which consists of ferromagnetic free layer and pinned layer in substantially the same plane. They are electrically connected by in-plane aligned carbon nanotubes, which reside in between. The methods of fabricating the magnetic read head and MRAM devices utilizing these types of carbon nanotube spin valves are also described.

摘要： A magnetic head for writing information on a relatively-moving medium includes a first substantially flat soft magnetic pole layer and a second substantially flat pole layer with at least one coil layer between them. The pole layers are magnetically coupled in a core region and spaced by more than one micron from one other. A soft magnetic pedestal adjoins the first pole layer adjacent to a medium-facing surface of the head, and a first high magnetic saturation layer adjoins the pedestal. A second high magnetic saturation layer adjoins the second pole layer. The first high magnetic saturation layer has a first throat height and the second high magnetic saturation layer extends from the medium-facing surface only to a second throat height. The first and second throat heights are within about one and one-half microns from the medium-facing surface and are essentially equal.

摘要： A read/write head and method of making the same are used in a data storage system, such as a disk drive, for perpendicular magnetic recording of data. The head employs a two-layer pole design with a main pole made of sputtered high moment magnetic material, and an adjunct pole made of electroplated soft magnetic film. The main pole is used to write data onto the medium, and is formed over the write coil. The adjunct pole is substantially recessed from the air bearing surface and is formed over the main pole. The present head design significantly enhances the magnetic write field, and substantially reduces side-writing that result in accidental erasure of data in adjacent tracks on the magnetic recording medium.

摘要： Electromagnetic transducers are disclosed having write poles with a leading edge that is smaller than a trailing edge, which can reduce erroneous writing for perpendicular recording systems. The write poles may have a trapezoidal shape when viewed from a direction of an associated medium. The write poles may be incorporated in heads or sliders that also contain read elements such as magnetoresistive sensors, and may be employed with information storage systems such as disk drives.
