摘要:
A magnetic head slider having an air bearing surface is used for reading and writing data from a magnetic medium. The magnetic head includes a substrate having a disc opposing face bounded by a leading face, a trailing face, and first and second sided edges. The slider includes an end layer positioned upon the trailing face of the substrate wherein the basecoat has a disc opposing face and is comprised of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate. An air bearing pad is formed solely on the disc opposing face of the end layer. A transducing head is formed in the air bearing pad and exposed at an air bearing surface.

A slider includes a longitudinal axis, a recessed region, a bearing surface, first and second elongated rails, and first and second elongated depressions. The first and second elongated rails extend generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and are disposed about the recessed region. Each of the first and second rails include a disc-facing surface that is recessed bearing surface. The first and second elongated depressions extend along the first and second rails, respectively. Each depression includes a depression floor that is recessed relative to the respective disc-facing surface.

A slider includes a slider body having a trailing edge and a leading edge. The slider also includes a thin film structure deposited in layers on the trailing edge. The thin film structure includes a write transducer configured to read and write to a storage medium. The thin film structure also includes a non-thermally activated actuator at least partially formed with the write transducer and configured to move the write transducer relative to the trailing edge.
