APPARATUS, MAGNETIC ELEMENT, AND TRANSDUCING HEAD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase data bit resolution of 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) having a magnetically free layer (166) with a predetermined magnetization. A side shield lamination (164) can be separated from the magnetic stack (162) on an air bearing surface (ABS) and biased to a bias magnetization opposite to the predetermined magnetization.
