    Abstract: A thermally assisted magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole layer, a near-field light generating layer having a generating end part generating near-field light arranged within a medium-opposing surface, and an optical waveguide guiding light to the near-field light generating layer. The near-field light generating layer has a laminated structure in which a first thin-film metal layer formed in a thin film form along a direction intersecting the medium-opposing surface and a second thin-film metal layer formed in a thin film form and formed using a second metal larger in hardness than a first metal forming the first thin-film metal layer are alternately laminated. Further, in the second thin-film metal layer, a defect part is formed, the defect part is a part smaller in thickness than another part or is a hole part, and a flat layer part other than the defect part surrounds the defect part.

    Abstract: Methods are provided for determining the heater power level of a dynamic flying height (DFH) type write head at which a touch down (TD) occurs. Each method makes use of the DC component of a head-disk interference (HDI) sensor and the determination of the TD heater energy is deduced from certain characteristics of the function relating heater power to HDI DC signal strength. Characteristics that provide reliable indication of a TD include points of minimum slope, structure of the slope's slope and the properties of a linear fit to the slope if the slope does not converge to a consistent value. It is found that the use of all methods in combination allow a reliable TD determination under virtually all conditions.

    Abstract: A magnetic write head is fabricated with its main pole attached to and magnetically coupled to a tapered yoke. The tapered yoke can be a top yoke (on the trailing side of the pole), a bottom yoke (on the leading side of the pole) or a combination of top and bottom configurations. The tapered portion of the yoke is at the distal end of the yoke and it is an extension of an otherwise uniformly thick yoke. It is found that the taper enables the yoke to be close to the ABS for better response times and a high data rate, while simultaneously being distant, producing less field disturbance by the shields and corresponding improvement of BER, and ATE/WATE. A taper of 45° is optimal for its production of uniform magnetization of the pole and optimal response times.

    Abstract: A write method for a STT-RAM MTJ is disclosed that substantially reduces the bit error rate caused by intermediate domain states generated during write pulses. The method includes a plurality of “n” write periods or pulses and “n−1” domain dissipation periods where a domain dissipation period separates successive write periods. During each pulse, a write current is applied in a first direction across the MTJ and during each domain dissipation period, a second current with a magnitude equal to or less than the read current is applied in an opposite direction across the MTJ. Alternatively, no current is applied during one or more domain dissipation periods. Each domain dissipation period has a duration of 1 to 10 ns that is equal to or greater than the precession period of free layer magnetization in the absence of spin torque transfer current.

    Abstract: A PMR writer is disclosed that includes at least one of a recessed center section in the write pole trailing edge and a center recessed trailing shield to improve the field gradient at track edge. In all embodiments, there is a non-uniform write gap between the trailing edge and the trailing shield. The recessed portion of the write pole trailing edge and/or center recess of the trailing shield has a thickness from 10 to 40 nm in a down-track direction and a width in a cross-track direction of 20 to 200 nm. The distance between the center recess and a corner of the trailing edge is from 20 to 80 nm. A sequence of steps is provided to fabricate the two embodiments of the present invention.
