摘要:
A magnetic element capable of detecting changes in magnetic states, such as for use as a read sensor in a data transducing head or as a solid-state non-volatile memory element. In accordance with various embodiments, the magnetic element includes a magnetically responsive stack or lamination with a first areal extent. The stack includes a spacer layer positioned between first and second ferromagnetic free layers. At least one antiferromagnetic (AFM) tab is connected to the first free layer on a surface thereof opposite the spacer layer, the AFM tab having a second areal extent that is less than the first areal extent.

Various embodiments may be constructed with a trilayer stack that is positioned on an air bearing surface (ABS). The trilayer stack can be configured with a stripe height along an axis orthogonal to the ABS and with first and second magnetic free layers that each has an angled uniaxial anisotropy with respect to the ABS.

摘要:
A magnetoresistive read sensor with improved sensitivity and stability is described. The sensor is a trilayer stack positioned between two electrodes. The trilayer stack has two free layers separated by a nonmagnetic layer and a biasing magnet positioned at the rear of the stack and separated from the air bearing surface by the stripe height distance. Current in the sensor is confined to regions close to the air bearing surface by an insulator layer to enhance reader sensitivity.
