    Abstract: An exchange-biased magnetoresistive (MR) read transducer in which the MR layer composition is changed at the interface with an antiferromagnetic layer, which is in direct contact with the ferromagnetic MR layer. The exchange-bias field strength H.sub.UA in the MR layer is increased at room temperature by adding a specially-optimized transition region in the ferromagnetic MR layer at the interface. The percentage of iron in the ferromagnetic alloy varies from a higher value at the interface to a lower value at the opposite end of the transition region. The higher iron ratio at the antiferromagnetic interface enhances the exchange-bias field H.sub.UA and the lower iron ratio throughout the bulk of the ferromagnetic MR layer maintains the lower coercivity preferred in the layer, thereby enhancing the longitudinal bias field with respect to the MR coercivity. Advantageously, the enhanced longitudinal bias effect of the special ferromagnetic transition region does not reduce the critical temperature T.sub.cr at which the temperature-dependent exchange-bias field H.sub.UA (T) approaches zero.

    Abstract: In binary data information stores, the storing member may comprise a thin layer magnetic structure made of at least one ferromagnetic layer, or of two such layers interacting through a non-magnetic film coupling. In such structures, the so-called ''''creep'''' phenomenon, and other disturbing phenomenons, lessen when the coercive magnetic field increases. Said coercive magnetic field is made of an increased apparent value from providing one of the faces of such a structure with a thin lamina of a magnetic material having a rigid magnetic lattice which is randomly inorganized at the microscopic scale.
