An apparatus for providing radial uniaxial anisotropy in the soft magnetic layer of a magnetic recording disk is disclosed. While the soft magnetic layer is being deposited on the recording disk, the magnetic field. The alternating perpendicular magnetic field causes eddy currents to flow in the disk, in a circumferential direction. The eddy currents, in turn cause a magnetic field in a radial direction, thereby resulting in the desired radial uniaxial anisotropy.

Systems and methods for controlling light phase difference in interferometric waveguides at near field transducers by selectively heating the light source are provided. One such system for controlling light phase at the NFT of an interferometric waveguide includes a laser, a heater configured to heat the laser, a splitter configured to receive light from the laser and to split the light into a first waveguide arm and a second waveguide arm, the first waveguide arm and the second waveguide arm converging at a junction about opposite the splitter, and the NFT proximate the junction and configured to receive the light, where the first waveguide arm is longer than the second waveguide arm by a preselected distance, and where the heater is configured to generate and maintain a preselected phase difference in the light arriving at the NFT via the first waveguide arm and the second waveguide arm.

A magnetic storage system includes a magnetic storage medium and a transducer positioned adjacent the magnetic storage medium. The transducer has a reader positioned adjacent writer and a reader bias coil located on the transducer. Transducer circuitry is configured to apply a bias signal to the reader bias coil during a read-write operation. The reader bias coil generates a reader bias field proximate the reader.

A method and apparatus for increasing recording density in zone bit recording on a magnetic recording disk without increasing track density by maximizing the data density the at disk's outer track. A magnetic recording head is attached to a parallelogram shaped slider such that the head's gap-to-radius skew and the slider rail skew changes continuously as the slider moves in an arcuate path from the disk's inner track to the disk's outer track. The parallelogram slider is designed to reduce the loss of data density at the outer track by minimizing the head's gap-to-radius skew while maximizing the rail skew angle at the outer track to maintain an essentially constant low fly height across the disk.

In an improved process for fabricating thin film head sliders from a wafer on one face of which a plurality of electromagnetic devices are arranged in rows, a single-row bar is mechanically processed to form sliders while it remains an integral part of the wafer, or after it is bonded to a fixture under a condition which induces no bow on the bar. Alternatively, a double-row bar sliced from the wafer is used for fabrication of sliders, wherein each single-row bar is mechanically processed while it remains an integral part of the double-row bar, or after it is bonded to a fixture as an integral part of a double-row bar followed by severance of the bonded double-row bar into two single-row bars. The process eliminates or materially reduces any inducement of bow of the bar, which is a serious cause of throat height control problem associated with the prior fabrication methods.

A read/write head for use with bit-patterned media detects write synchronization errors between a write clock and the bit-patterned media. In particular, the read/write head writes data to the bit-patterned media using a write clock. The data is then read from the bit-patterned media and used to detect write synchronization errors between the write clock and the location of bit-islands on the bit-patterned media. Based on detected write synchronization errors, the phase associated with the write clock is modified to align the write clock with the location of bit-islands on the bit-patterned media.

A disc drive system provides increased reliability by detecting and correcting errors associated with bit-patterned media. Write synchronization errors associated with bit-patterned media are addressed by including data storage for temporarily storing data that is being written to the disc drive. The data is read from both the disc drive and the storage medium and compared to detect write synchronization errors. A disc drive system for correcting write synchronization errors includes an encoder, non-volatile storage, and decoder device for implementing a parity-based scheme for increased reliability. Data strings being written to the disc drive are combined in an encoder to generate a parity string. The address of the data being written to the disc drive, along with the updated parity string is stored to the non-volatile storage. The data strings are read from the disc drive by the decoder. If uncorrectable errors are identified, the decoder employs the parity string in conjunction with the other data strings written to the disc drive to reconstruct the data string with uncorrectable errors.

A thin film magnetic transducer is formed in a plurality of layers and comprises a yoke with at least one arm having segments respectively lying in separate said layers and connected through a transition layer, and one or more coils; the coil (or coils) and the yoke are intertwined to provide more than two flux interactions therebetween. In one aspect, the segments of the arm are oriented obliquely to each other and have easy axes of magnetization respectively transverse to the directions of flux conduction through said segments, and the segments are joined together so that flux can pass between them without flowing parallel to the easy axis of any of the segments.

The present invention pertains to a thin film magnetic recording head which minimizes erase fringing and the process for manufacturing the thin film magnetic recording head. The head is used to record and read information made up of alternating magnetization patterns on a magnetic recording medium. Known recording heads cause erase fringing of the magnetic medium during the write operations. The structure of the recording head of the present invention has the ABS portion of one of two magnetic poles beveled away from ABS at the gap to zero throat, reduces erase fringing of the magnetic recording medium and is easily manufactured. By reducing erase fringing, the present invention enables an increase in disk density of information without risking loss of data integrity.
