Herein is disclosed a method and apparatus for detecting a magnetic field stored upon magnetically-enclosable material with a semiconductor/metal read head. A region of the magnetically-encodable material is brought in proximity to a semiconductor mass with at least one conductive region embedded therein. An electrical current is directed through the semiconductor mass, flowing in a direction approximately parallel to the magnetically-encodable material. The semiconductor mass is magnetically biased. The biasing magnetic field is approximately perpendicular to the magnetically-encodable material. Finally, a change in resistance to current flowing through the semiconductor mass is detected. The change in resistance indicates magnitude and direction of the magnetic field stored upon the magnetically-encodable material.

A multichannel magnetic head has magnetic circuits for respective channels, each positioned to traverse a magnetic flux to be detected and a Hall element disposed in the magnetic circuits and used as a magnetic-electric converter. The Hall element is an amorphous magnetic thin film which consists essentially of an alloy containing a rare earth element (e.g. Gd) and a transistion metal (e.g. Co). To the amorphous magnetic thin film there are connected a pair of current terminals and Hall voltage terminals. The Hall voltage terminals are provided in the same number as the number of channels.

When a pinned magnetic layer includes an underlayer and a Heusler alloy layer, a product ΔR×A of the amount of change in resistance and an element surface area of a magnetic sensor per unit area is increased. That is, a magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic sensor can be improved. It is believed that the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic sensor is improved by the present invention because a misfit percentage between the underlayer and the Heusler alloy layer is small, and therefore the crystallinity or the periodicity of the Heusler alloy layer is improved.

A magnetic sensor that generates a signal based on inverse spin Hall effect. The sensor includes a magnetic free layer and a non-magnetic, electrically conductive spin Hall layer located adjacent to the magnetic free layer. Circuitry is configured to supply an electrical current that travels through the magnetic free layer and the spin Hall layer in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the plane of the layers or perpendicular to a plane defined by an interface between the magnetic free layer and the spin Hall layer. The inverse spin Hall effect causes an electrical voltage in the spin Hall layer as a result of the current, and the voltage changes relative to the orientation of magnetization of the magnetic free layer. Circuitry is provided for measuring the voltage in the spin Hall layer in a direction that is generally perpendicular to the direction of the electrical current.

An EHE magnetic sensor has an alloy of the form RynullMxN100nullxnull100nully, M being Fe, Co, Ni, or magnetic alloys that contain Fe, Co or Ni. N is from the fifth or sixth period of the periodic table. If present, R is a rare earth element. In one embodiment, the alloy exhibits a Temperature Coefficient null0.003 Knull1 in the room temperature region. Various geometric shapes of sensors are presented including one and two-dimensional arrays of sensors for measuring spatial magnetic fields. Vias (98, 100, 102, 104) defined by a substrate (92) onto which an alloy layer (106) is disposed are filled with a conductive material in certain embodiments of arrays. Methods are disclosed for making a sensor, for designing a sensor at a thickness, for determining maximum acceptable current through a sensor, for reducing Joule heating of a sensor, and for making an array of sensors.

The head includes a read pole disposed between a pair of write poles spaced apart to form a gap therebetween. The read pole conducts flux to a flux sensor that is located away from the gap. The head can be utilized for both longitudinal and perpendicular recording and the readback function can be carried out by an inductive coil or flux sensing devices such as a Hall sensor or an MR sensor. The recording head achieves high readback resolution, high write field gradients, and the capability for write wide-read narrow. The read pole and write poles are laminated structures.

A magnetic head for reading out the state of magnetization recorded on a magnetic recording medium, in which the magnetic head comprises a substrate of insulating material, an amorphous magnetic thin film, a pair of current terminals, and a pair of voltage terminals. The amorphous magnetic thin film is deposited on the substrate so as to have a width smaller than respective unit areas of magnetic records on a magnetic recording medium to be separately read out therefrom and to have an easy axis of magnetization in a direction perpendicular to the film surface. The current terminals are formed on the substrate for flowing a current in the amorphous magnetic thin film in the lengthwise direction thereof. The voltage terminals are formed on the substrate for deriving from the amorphous magnetic thin film a voltage induced in the transverse direction thereof.
