A method is described for direct measurement of the magnetic microfield from a recording head. The method employs a thin film ‘‘microloop’’ as a transducer which by induction senses the recording head field. Measurements are presented on both a thin film and a ferrite head. Fits to the data allow the absolute efficiency to be determined. Data on the frequency dependence of head efficiency are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
