A new concept of the thin-film heads for magnetic recording introduced in this paper is to use the superconductive film as a perfect diamagnet to be the gap medium between the two magnetic poles of a thin-film ring head for the longitudinal magnetic recording. By using the finite-element method, the magnetic field and its distribution for the new designed ring head with a single-layer superconductive film or multilayer structure as the medium between the magnetic poles is calculated. The results show that the diamagnetic film in the gap not only increases the amplitude of the magnetic field in front of the magnetic poles, but also makes the distribution of the magnetic field much sharper, and the amplitude of the field is less influenced by the throat height of the pole tip as wen.
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.
