Magnetic write head with flux diverting structure

摘要

A magnetic write head with a flux diverting structure for diverting stray flux received from an external source. The write head includes a yoke with two poles and a non-magnetic gap formed there between, and functions to write data to a magnetic storage medium. The flux diverting structure is proximate to the first pole and has a magnetic connection toward the back of the structure, and a non-magnetic separation toward the front of the structure. The flux diverting structure is comprised of a magnetic permeable material such that stray flux is diverted away from portions of the write head.
