Magnetic thin films in recording technology
Abstract
This paper is a review of recent progress in magnetic thin films for use in recording media and heads. Emphasis is on work that has been carried out at IBM. Topics covered include thin-film media for high-density recording, laminated soft-magnetic films for controlling domains and extending the frequency range of inductive heads, exchange-biasing of magnetoresistive sensors, and magnetic multilayer structures.
