    摘要: A magnetic head is configured by forming a thin-film-shaped magnetic element on top of a thin film that is provided parallel to a medium-facing surface. An aperture is formed in the thin film, and part of a main magnetic pole is formed to have a tip portion that protrudes into that aperture. This configuration makes it possible to impose highly accurate control over the amount by which thin-film-shaped magnetic elements are recessed from the medium-facing surface, while simultaneously exerting accurate control over the amount of protrusion of the main magnetic pole tip portion by making the thickness of the thin film extremely small. As a result, the recording flux strength at the main magnetic pole tip portion can be increased to the ultimate value thereof, making it possible to supply a head that can record on a high retention force medium suitable for higher densities.

    摘要: There is provided a magnetic recording apparatus capable of carrying out signal reproduction with high accuracy by using a narrow gap head structure corresponding to high recording density. An asymmetric gap structure MR head includes a magnetoresistance element 26 having a magnetoresistance film 24 and a pair of electrodes 25 disposed at the upper side; a reproducing magnetic gap film 23 disposed only at the lower side of the magnetoresistance element 26; a magnetic shielding film 22 disposed so as to make a laminate with the magnetoresistance element 26 through the reproducing magnetic gap film 23; and an insulating film 27 disposed at the upper side of the magnetoresistance element 26. When a signal is read by use of such a reproducing head, the signal of the present bit is read by subtracting a value obtained by multiplying signals of a plurality of previous bits by predetermined coefficients from the present reproduction signal. As another reproduction signal processing system, a partial response system is adopted.

    摘要: At least one magnetic pole out of a pair of magnetic poles is provided with a T-shaped magnetic pole having a magnetic pole chip at the position contacting with a magnetic gap and an auxiliary magnetic pole which is wider than thereof. The proximity of an air bearing surface of the T-shaped magnetic pole is composed of a laminated film containing a magnetic material layer with a high saturated magnetic flux density which composes the magnetic pole chip and a portion of the auxiliary magnetic pole and a magnetic material layer with a low saturated magnetic flux density which composes the remaining portion of the auxiliary magnetic pole. When the front portion of the magnetic pole with the track width of 1.8 .mu.m or less is composed of a laminated film containing a magnetic material layer having a high saturated magnetic flux density and a magnetic material layer having a low saturated magnetic flux density, the thickness of the magnetic material layer having the high saturated magnetic flux density is 0.5 .mu.m or more. According to the above described magnetic pole, the magnetic saturation near the tip portion of the magnetic pole is controlled, so that preferable magnetic field strength and magnetic field gradient can be attained when the track width is narrowed.
