Abstract:
A data reader may consist of at least a magnetoresistive stack positioned on an air bearing surface. A portion of the magnetoresistive stack may be set to a first fixed magnetization by a pinning structure separated from the air bearing surface by a front shield that is set to a second fixed magnetization by a biasing structure. The front shield may be separated from the biasing structure by a coupling structure.

Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment, a multi-reader can be manufactured so as to be able to read from multiple regions of a storage device contemporaneously during operation. Such a device can be configured, for example, by forming a first wall; forming a second wall; and utilizing the first wall and the second wall to form two adjacent reader stacks.

Abstract:
A data sensor may be configured with a magnetic stack disposed between first and second magnetic shields. The magnetic stack can have a non-magnetic spacer layer disposed between first and second magnetically free laminations respectively coupled to the first and second magnetic shields via first and second electrode laminations. The first magnetically free lamination may have a first sub-layer constructed of a transition metal material and disposed between a second sub-layer constructed of a negative magnetostriction material and a third sub-layer constructed of a positive magnetostriction material.have a magnetic stack configured without a fixed magnetization structure and with a barrier layer disposed between first and second magnetically free layers. At least one magnetically free layer can be coupled to a magnetic shield by magnetic electrode and coupling layers with the coupling layer configured with at least a non-magnetic first coupling sub-layer disposed between a magnetic second coupling sub-layer and a magnetic third coupling sub-layer.

Abstract:
A data reader may have a magnetoresistive stack consisting of at least magnetically free and magnetically fixed structures with the magnetically fixed structure set to a first magnetization direction by a pinning structure separated from an air bearing surface by a front shield portion of a magnetic shield. The pinning structure can meet the front shield portion with a planar sidewall angled at 10° or less with respect to the ABS.
