APPARATUS, MAGNETIC ELEMENT, AND TRANSDUCING HEAD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase data bit resolution for a magnetic element.SOLUTION: A magnetic element (160) is generally provided that can be implemented as a transducing head. Various embodiments may configure a magnetic stack (162) to be separated from a side shield lamination (164) on an air bearing surface (ABS). The side shield lamination (262) can be constructed to have a plurality of magnetic and non-magnetic layers (180, 182) each coupled to a top shield (172).
