MAGNETIC SENSOR HAVING A WEAK MAGNETIC SPACER |
摘要 |
A magnetic sensor having improved magnetic free layer stability and signal resolution. The magnetic sensor includes a weak magnetic spacer located between a magnetic free layer and a trailing magnetic shield. The weak magnetic spacer provides a desired weak magnetic coupling between the magnetic free layer and the trailing shield. This weak magnetic coupling reduces signal side lobe, thereby improving signal resolution. The weak magnetic spacer can be an alloy that includes magnetic and nonmagnetic elements. The magnetic elements can be one or more of Co, Fe and Ni. The nonmagnetic elements can be one or more of Hf, Ta, Nb and Zr. |
