    摘要: A method and apparatus for a recording head using a spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) junction. The SDT junction utilizes an aluminum oxide tunnel barrier. The tunnel barrier can be formed to a thickness comparable with a typical Cu spacer layer on a spin valve. With the SDT junction, current is applied perpendicular to the plane of the film. The SDT junctions can have high magneto-resistance up to 40%. The magnetoresistive qualities of a head design incorporating the SDT junction are not directly related to head resistance, head geometry, bias current and film thickness. The method can include forming a spin tunnel barrier by fashioning a stack into a bottom electrode, defining a junction, depositing a layer of insulator, performing a photoprocess, depositing an upper electrode layer and lifting off the top electrode layer to define the electrode. The stack can include a pinned layer, a barrier layer and a free layer. The pinned layer can include NiFe. The barrier layer can include AlOx. The free layer can include Co. The junction can be defined with an ion mill and the insulator can include Al2O3. In addition, the top electrode layer can include Cu.

    摘要: A magnetic read head (30) for use in a magnetic data storage and retrieval system has a first current contact (40), a second current contact (42), a magnetoresistive read sensor (34), and a demagnetization field balance element (50). Positioned between the first and second current contacts (40, 42) are both the magnetoresistive read sensor (34) and the demagnetization field balance element (50). The demagnetization field balance element (50) is both electrically isolated from and magnetically coupled to the magnetoresistive read sensor (34).

    摘要: A method of fabricating a discrete track magnetic recording media. A base layer is provided onto which repeating and alternating magnetic layer and non-magnetic layers are deposited. The thickness of the magnetic layer corresponds to the width of the track of the recording media. A cylindrical rod can be used as the base layer, such that the alternating magnetic and non-magnetic layers spiraling or concentric layers around the rod. The resulting media layer can be cut or sliced into individual magnetic media or used to imprint other media discs with the discrete pattern of the media layer.

    摘要: A shock sensor comprises a substrate and at least one flexure coupled to the substrate and configured to deflect upon an application of force to the shock sensor sufficient to deflect the flexure. Deflection of the at least one flexure produces a detectable change in an electrical property of the shock sensor. Examples of detectable changes in an electrical property of the shock sensor include an open circuit condition, a closed circuit condition, and a variation in voltage of a piezo-electric detector. In some embodiments, the change in the electrical property of the shock sensor may be remotely read by interrogation of a radio frequency identification transponder positioned on the substrate using a remote radio frequency identification transceiver. The disclosure also relates to a shock sensing system and method of shock detection.
