    摘要: A magnetoresistive head includes an antiferromagnetic portion interposed between first and second spin-valve units. Sense current supply directions through the first and second spin-valve units are perpendicular to a head facing surface of a magnetic recording medium. The first spin-valve unit is formed of a first inner magnetic film, a first outer magnetic film and a nonmagnetic film interposed between and in direct physical contact with the first inner magnetic film and the first outer magnetic film. The second spin-valve unit is formed of a second inner magnetic film, a second outer magnetic film and a nonmagnetic film interposed between and in direct physical contact with the second inner magnetic film and the second outer magnetic film. The antiferromagnetic portion is formed of a first antiferromagnetic sublayer and a second antiferromagnetic sublayer laminated on the first antiferromagnetic sublayer. The first antiferromagnetic sublayer is in contact with the first inner magnetic film to apply a first exchange bias magnetic field to the first inner magnetic film in a direction perpendicular to the head facing surface of the magnetic recording medium. The second antiferromagnetic sublayer is in contact with the second inner magnetic film to apply a second exchange bias magnetic field to the second inner magnetic film in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording medium. The second exchange bias magnetic field has a polarity opposite to that of the first exchange bias magnetic field.

    摘要: A member having a first and a second magnetic layer are magnetostatically coupled and laminated and the first magnetic layer formed on a magneto-resistive element, for creating the exchange coupling on the magneto-resistive element and the first magnetic layer. The member is formed by sequentially laminating a first ferromagnetic layer magnetized in a sense along the direction of the longitudinal bias of the magneto-resistive element, non-magnetic layer and second ferromagnetic layer magnetized in a direction opposite to the magnetized direction of the first ferromagnetic layer, for example.

    摘要: A magnetic yoke having a magnetic gap provided in the side of the surface facing the medium is disposed on the surface of a substrate. An MR film is disposed on the surface of the magnetic yoke substantially parallel to the substrate with a predetermined separation from the surface S facing the medium. At least both end portions of the MR film are magnetically coupled to the magnetic yoke. A pair of leads for supplying sensing current to the MR film have magnetic lead portions formed from the same magnetic layers as the magnetic yoke. The magnetic lead portions curb deterioration of MR head properties and yield reduction during formation of the leads. Furthermore, a bias magnetic field is applied to the magnetic yoke and the MR film at least during operation of the head. This bias magnetic field is for instance provided by a magnetic field induced by the electric current. Alternatively, a magnetic field induced by the electric current is applied while heat-processing the magnetic yoke. Magnetic anisotropy is induced to the magnetic yoke in a direction differing according to the position. This magnetic anisotropy curbs Barkhausen noise caused by the magnetic yoke.

    摘要: A magneto-resistance effect head records and reproduces recorded magnetic material. The magneto-resistance effect head has a magneto-resistance effect film connected to a pair of leads. Additionally, a magnetic yoke, with a first and second magnetic yoke member, directs a signal magnetic field from a recording medium to the magneto-resistance effect film. The magneto-resistance effect head is constructed such that the first and second magnetic yoke members have surfaces that face the recording medium. The surfaces of the first and second magnetic yoke members have a magnetic gap between them. Additionally, the magneto-resistance effect film is recessed from the medium facing surfaces by a predetermined distance. Moreover, the first and second magnetic yoke members are aligned almost in parallel with the magnetic flux flow from the recording medium to the first magnetic yoke member, the magneto-resistance effect film, and the second magnetic yoke member.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive head includes a magnetoresistive effect element including a magnetoresistive film, which has a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer separated by a nonmagnetic layer. A magnetization direction of the first ferromagnetic layer is perpendicular to a magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer when a signal magnetic field is zero. A pair of bias layers provide magnetic bias, and a top surface of each of the pair of bias layers faces a lower surface of each edge region of the magnetoresistive film. A pair of lead electrodes produce a current flow through the magnetoresistive film, and each of the pair of lead electrodes is disposed on or above the magnetoresistive film.
