Magnetic head with improved efficiency in both high and low frequency ranges

摘要

A magnetic head has a pair of magnetic core halves opposed to each other with a non-magnetic material posed therebetween to form a magnetic gap, which head includes a pair of magnetic core halves, a first ferromagnetic metal thin film and a second ferromagnetic metal thin film. The magnetic core halves are formed of ferromagnetic oxide such as Mn-Zn ferrite, and they have opposing surfaces opposed to each other to provide the magnetic gap. The first ferromagnetic metal thin film formed of Fe-Si-Al alloy is formed at least on one of the opposing surfaces. The second ferromagnetic metal thin film formed of Fe-Si-Al alloy having different constituent ratio from the first ferromagnetic metal thin film is formed between the magnetic gap and the first ferromagnetic metal thin film. The flux density of the second ferromagnetic metal thin film induced when a magnetic field of 1.2K oersted is applied exceeds 1000 gauss. The ratio of the saturation flux density of the second ferromagnetic metal thin film to that of the first ferromagnetic metal thin film is not higher than 0.6. The self recording reproducing capability of the magnetic head is not degraded in the high frequency region, and the self recording reproducing capability in the low frequency region is increased.
