摘要:
A magnetoresistive sensor having a trilayer sensor stack with two ferromagnetic freelayers separated by a nonmagnetic spacer layer is disclosed. The sensor is biased with a back biasing magnet adjacent a back of the trilayer sensor. The back biasing magnet, the trilayer sensor stack, or both have substantially trapezoidal shapes to enhance the biasing field and to minimize noise. In some embodiments, the trilayer sensor or back bias magnet have a shape designed to stabilize a micromagnetic “C” shape or concentrate magnetic flux in the trilayer sensor stack.

Various embodiments generally relate to a magnetic sensor, and more specifically to a magnetoresistive read head sensor. In one such exemplary embodiment, a magnetic sensor comprises a sensor stack and magnetic bias elements positioned adjacent opposite sides of the sensor stack. At least one of the bias elements has a non-rectangular shape, such as substantially trapezoidal or parallelogram shapes having non-perpendicular corners.

In some embodiments, a magnetic reader comprises first and second shields extending from an air bearing surface (ABS), a magnetoresistive stack is located between the first and second shields, and a flux guide is separated from the magnetoresistive stack while connecting the first and second shields. The flux guide magnetically couples the distal end of the magnetoresistive stack to the first shield.

A magnetic sensor or magnetoresistive read head comprises a sensor stack and magnetic bias elements positioned adjacent each side of the sensor stack. The sensor stack and bias elements have non-rectangular shapes, such as substantially trapezoidal or parallelogram shapes having non-perpendicular corners. In some embodiments, the sensor stack and bias elements have a shape that stabilizes a “C” state or “S” state magnetization pattern.
摘要:
A trilayer magnetoresistive sensor has at least first and second ferromagnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic layer. A high coercivity permanent magnet bias element biases the first ferromagnetic layer in a first direction. A high moment permanent magnet bias element biases the second ferromagnetic layer in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction.
摘要:
A magnetic reader comprises first and second shields oriented transversely to a media-facing surface, a magnetoresistive stack located between the first and second shields, and a flux guide. The magnetoresistive stack extends from a proximal end oriented toward the media-facing surface to a distal end oriented away from the media-facing surface. The flux guide extends from the first shield toward the second shield, and is spaced from the magnetoresistive stack at the distal end. The flux guide magnetically couples the distal end of the magnetoresistive stack to the first shield.

In some examples, a system comprising a data storage member including a magnetic storage medium, the magnetic storage medium having a plurality of magnetic bit domains aligned on at least one data track, where a transition boundary between respective magnetic bit domains defines a transition curvature. The system may further comprise a magnetic read head including a first shield layer, a second shield layer, and a read sensor stack provided proximate to the first and second shield layers, where the magnetic read head senses a magnetic field of each of the plurality of magnetic bit domains according to a read playback sensitivity function. In some examples, the shield layers and read sensor stack may be configured to provide a reader playback sensitivity function that substantially corresponds to the shape of the respective magnetic bit domains.
