Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a high-frequency oscillator for use in a recording device having a microwave-assisted magnetic recording head. The microwave-assisted magnetic recording head achieves a large assist effect by using an extended spin torque oscillator disposed between a main magnetic pole and a pole opposite the main magnetic pole. The spin torque oscillator obtains a strong high-frequency magnetic field and comprises a first non-magnetic spin scatterer, a reference layer, a first non-magnetic spin transfer layer, a first magnetic field generating layer, a second non-magnetic spin transfer layer, a second magnetic field generating layer, and a second non-magnetic spin scatterer. The spin torque oscillator has a drive current flowing though in the direction from the first magnetic field generating layer to the reference layer.
