摘要:
The present disclosure provides a magnetic recording head for a data storage system having improved write field characteristics. In one example, an apparatus having magnetic properties is provided. The apparatus includes a pole, a shield, and a multilayer block positioned between the pole and the shield. The multilayer block includes a plurality of layers wherein at least one of the plurality of layers comprises a magnetic material. In one embodiment, the multilayer block provides an antiferromagnetic coupling between the pole and the shield such that a magnetization of the pole is in a first direction and a magnetization of the shield in a second direction that is substantially anti-parallel to the first direction.

A magnetic head for perpendicular recording having reduced side writing and erasing is disclosed. The writer portion of the magnetic head includes a main pole and a return pole. The main pole includes a multilayer main pole tip and a multilayer yoke. The layers of the main pole tip and the yoke are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other with a non-magnetic metal. Antiferromagnetic coupling between the layers of the main pole tip and the yoke dramatically reduces fringing flux emanated from the sides of the main pole intending to close through an upper portion of the return pole. A biasing antiferromagnetic layer is coupled to the upper portion of the return pole to bias the return pole parallel to the air bearing surface. This prevents or reduces the effect of domain wall formation in the return pole, which results in further reduction in side writing and erasing.

A method for multi-layer electrodeposition in a single bath is also provided. A substrate is immersed in a bath. An electrodeposition operation is initiated for depositing a first layer of material on the substrate. The electrodeposition operation includes agitating the bath and applying current pulses. The electrodeposition operation is later altered for depositing a second layer of material on the first layer, where the second layer is of a different composition than the first layer. In the altered mode, the current density is changed for altering a composition of material deposited on the substrate, the duration and/or frequency of the current pulses are altered, and the bath is agitated at a different rate of agitation.

A magnetoresistive sensor employing a magnetoresistive sensor film of a GMR film or a TMR film and a magnetic flux guide to ensure high sensitivity and high stability. Magnetization of a magnetic flux guide and a first ferromagnetic layer, which is a free layer of a GMR sensor film or a TMR sensor film, are made to antiferromagnetically couple to each other via a nonmagnetic intermediate layer 21. Since net magnetic moment has become small in the area in which the magnetoresistive sensor film is arranged, and an angle of magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer rotated by magnetic field which has been guided by the magnetic flux guide enlarges, high sensitivity can be obtained. When a longitudinal biasing layer is provide for the magnetic flux guide, longitudinal biasing magnetic field is applied to the ferromagnetic layer as well which is antiferromagnetically coupled to the magnetic flux guide, thus being able to suppress Barkhausen noise of both the magnetic flux guide and the ferromagnetic layer.

An inductive thin-film magnetic head with small fluctuations of the reproduction output and noises for reproduction is disclosed. The forward end of each of a lower magnetic core and an upper magnetic core has the same width as the track. The rear end of each of the lower magnetic core and the upper magnetic core, on the other hand, is wider than the forward end thereof in the direction transverse of the track. Also, the lower magnetic core is formed of at least two magnetic layers with a non-magnetic layer interposed therebetween.

A magnetoresistive sensor employing a magnetoresistive sensor film of a GMR film or a TMR film and a magnetic flux guide to ensure high sensitivity and high stability. Magnetization of a magnetic flux guide 10 and a first ferromagnetic layer 22, which is a free layer of a GMR sensor film or a TMR sensor film, are made to antiferromagnetically couple to each other via a nonmagnetic intermediate layer 21. Since net magnetic moment has become small in the area in which the magnetoresistive sensor film is arranged, and an angle of magnetization of the first ferromagnetic layer 22 rotated by magnetic field which has been guided by the magnetic flux guide 10 enlarges, high sensitivity can be obtained. When a longitudinal biasing layer is provide for the magnetic flux guide 10, longitudinal biasing magnetic field is applied to the first ferromagnetic layer 22 as well which is antiferromagnetically coupled to the magnetic flux guide 10, thus being able to suppress Barkhausen noise of both the magnetic flux guide 10 and the first ferromagnetic layer 22.
摘要:
In a magnetoresistive effect composite head, magnetic shields oppose each other on a slider main body made of a ceramic material through a predetermined gap, and a magnetoresistive effect element is sandwiched and stacked between the magnetic shields with a magnetic spacer layer made of an insulator. A recording head portion uses one of the magnetic shields as a first magnetic pole, and has a second magnetic pole formed on a surface of the first magnetic pole opposite to the magnetoresistive effect element through a magnetic gap, to record information on a recording medium by means of a magnetic field generated in the magnetic gap. The magnetoresistive effect element includes a central region made of a spin-valve element to sense a medium field, and end regions for supplying a bias field and a current to the central region. The second magnetic pole is constituted by a stacked film of first and second magnetic films having different saturation magnetizations. The first and second magnetic films are close to and far from the magnetic gap, respectively. The saturation magnetization of the first magnetic film is set to a value larger than that of the second magnetic film. A method of manufacturing the above head is also disclosed.

A magnetoresistive head comprising, a magnetic yoke defining a magnetic gap for guiding signal magnetic fields from a recording medium at the air-bearing surface, a giant magnetoresistive element magnetically coupled with the magnetic yoke at a position remote from the air-bearing surface, and means for supplying a sense current in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the giant magnetoresistive element.
摘要:
Single write poles tend to large shape anisotropy which results in a very large remnant field when not actually writing. This has now been eliminated by giving the write pole the form of a three layer laminate in which two ferromagnetic layers are separated by a non-magnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling layer. Strong magnetostatic coupling between the outer layers causes their magnetization directions to automatically be antiparallel to one another, unless overcome by the more powerful write field, leaving the structure with a low net magnetic moment. The thickness of the middle layer must be carefully controlled.
