    Abstract: An exchange coupling film including an antiferromagnetic layer and a ferromagnetic layer in contact with the antiferromagnetic layer so as to generate an exchange coupling magnetic field is provided. A PtMn alloy is used as the material of the antiferromagnetic layer. Crystal planes of the antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer preferentially aligned parallel to the interface are crystallographically identical and crystallographically identical axes lying in these crystal planes are oriented, at least partly, in different directions between the antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer. Thus, a proper order transformation occurs in the antiferromagnetic layer as a result of heat treatment and an increased exchange coupling magnetic field can be obtained.

    Abstract: A laminated pole structure for use in a low noise magnetic head suitable for high frequency signal operation is formed by interleaving a plurality of ferromagnetic layers and electrically insulating antiferromagnetic layers so as to form interface surfaces therebetween. External magnetic fields are applied as the interface surfaces are being formed for establishing exchange anisotropies with predetermined permanent exchange pinning directions in the ferromagnetic layers. The exchange anisotropies may be in the same or opposite directions, as defined by the external magnetic fields. In one embodiment, the pole structure has an open edge lamination, while in another embodiment the pole structure has a closed edge lamination. In still another embodiment, the antiferromagnetic layers include predetermined patterns of nonmagnetic material.

    Abstract: As an antiferromagnetic layer achieving exchange anisotropic coupling with a ferromagnetic layer, any Mn alloy of Ru-Mn, Rh-Mn, Ir-Mn, Pd-Mn, and Pt-Mn alloys is used. The content of each element is 10 to 45 atomic % for Ru, 10 to 40 atomic % for Rh, 10 to 40 atomic % for Ir, 10 to 25 atomic % for Pd, and 10 to 25 atomic % for Pt, respectively. Since the alloy exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and exchange anisotropic magnetic field in spite of its irregular crystal structure, no high temperature treatment is required in order to achieve a change in the crystal structure. The alloy is durable to high temperature due to a decreased change in the exchange anisotropic magnetic field.

    Abstract: A method of producing a magnetoresistive read transducer with improved longitudinal bias due to high exchange coupling is disclosed. A layer of antiferromagnetic material is sputtered deposited onto a layer of ferromagnetic material in the absence of a magnetic field and at a power density below 0.7 W/cm.sup.2.

    Abstract: A method of forming a magnetic structure having layers with different magnetization orientations provided by a common magnetic bias layer includes the steps of depositing an antiferromagnetic layer between first and second ferromagnetic layers. During the deposition of the first and second ferromagnetic layers, magnetization fields of different orientations are employed separately to induce different directions of magnetization in the first and second layers. The different directions of magnetization in the first and second layers are sustained, through the process of exchange coupling, by the interposed antiferromagnetic layer which serves as the bias layer. A magnetic structure thus fabricated, can be used as a read transducer capable of generating differential signals with common mode noise rejection, and can be used as a magnetic pole for a magnetic head with reduced Barkhausen noise.
