摘要:
A magnetic laminated film used for a magnetic transducer is constructed in such a way that a ferromagnetic film as a ferromagnetic body is made of, for example, a Ni--Fe alloy film, formed on a substrate made of, for example, glass, and an antiferromagnetic film as an antiferromagnetic body having crystal structure of body-centered cubic lattice, for example, made of a Cr alloy film is laminated on the top layer. Further, a magnetic transducer using the magnetic laminated film is applied to a magnetic head in a magnetic recording device in accordance with the present invention.
摘要:
A tri-layer thin film magnetoresistive device using doped perovskite manganate thin films as ferromagnetic elements, wherein a current is transported through the tri-layer structure, is disclosed. A large magnetoresistance change of about a factor of two is obtained in a low magnetic field, less than 150 Oe, which is close to the coercivity of the material of the elements. This device demonstrates that low-field spin-dependent transport in the manganates can be accomplished and that the magnitude of the resulting magnetoresistance is suitable for magnetoresistive field sensor applications.

摘要:
A magnetic material which may be employed as a thin film magnetic layer within magnetic heads, and a method for forming the magnetic material as a thin film magnetic layer for use within magnetic heads. The magnetic material has an elemental composition comprising about 40 to about 60 weight percent iron, about 40 to about 60 weight percent nickel and about 0.002 to about 1 weight percent tin. The magnetic material may be formed as a thin film magnetic layer for use within a magnetic head through an electrochemical plating method employing an aqueous plating solution comprising iron (II) ions, nickel (II) ions and tin (II) ions. When electrodeposited and anisotropically magnetically aligned, or when thermally annealed and anisotropically magnetically aligned the thin film magnetic layer possess a higher saturation magnetization, a higher anisotropy, a comparable easy axis coercivity, a lower hard axis permittivity and a higher resistivity than conventional thin film magnetic layers formed of permalloy (nickel-iron 80:20 w/w) alloys.

A magnetoresistive effect element having a large magnetoresistive change with a small magnetic field, and a memory element using the same. A semiconductor film to provide a window for excitation light is arranged on a substrate via a buffer layer. Another semiconductor film and a nonmagnetic metallic film (or a nonmagnetic insulating film) are arranged on the semiconductor film successively. A magnetic film having a square magnetization curve is arranged on the nonmagnetic metallic film (or a nonmagnetic insulating film). An electrode is arranged beneath the substrate and another electrode is arranged on the magnetic film. By radiating a laser light beam to the semiconductor film acting as a window, electrons having spin polarization are excited in the semiconductor film so as to utilize the dependency of the scattering of electrons at the surface of the magnetic film on the magnetization orientation of the magnetic film and the spin polarization state of the excited electrons.

A magnetoresistance having three ferromagnetic layers (10, 20, 30) separated by non-magnetic layers (15, 25). The first ferromagnetic layer (10) has a magnetization orientable by a measuring current, the second layer (20) has a "free" magnetization and the third ferromagnetic layer (50) has a trapped or fixed magnetization.
摘要:
In a magnetoresistive read transducer, a material which is inert with respect to the soft film magnetic biasing layer is formed at the surface of the substrate prior to soft film deposition. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a substrate surface layer of metal such as Cr or Ta is used. These metals have high resistivity due to partial oxidation when deposited on the substrate to reduce shunting of sensing current through the magnetoresistive layer, and further acts as a barrier to protect the soft film from substrate interface contamination. The surface layer also acts as a seed layer to set the soft film magnetization orientation in a well-defined direction therefore reducing magnetic instability.

摘要:
A superconducting magnetic coil includes a plurality of sections positioned axially along the longitudinal axis of the coil, each section being formed of an anisotropic high temperature superconductor material wound about a longitudinal axis of the coil and having an associated critical current value that is dependent on the orientation of the magnetic field of the coil. The cross section of the superconductor, or the type of superconductor material, at sections along the axial and radial axes of the coil are changed to provide an increased critical current at those regions where the magnetic field is oriented more perpendicularly to the conductor plane, to thereby increase the critical current at these regions and to maintain an overall higher critical current of the coil.

An improved magnetoresistive device and method for fabricating the same which results in improved Barkhausen noise suppression. A generally coplanar device is described having an MR structure conductive region longitudinally biased by opposing permanent magnet layers separated therefrom by a non-magnetic metal or dielectric separation layer. significant reduction of the demagnetization energy near the MR-to-permanent magnet junction is achieved, particularly in the use of an elliptically shaped conductive region and the resultant generally coplanar device is readily fabricated and reproducible using a self-aligning process. The longitudinal bias technique described can be used in conjunction with all known transverse bias techniques.
