The invention relates to a soft magnetic multilayer film which comprises a number of crystalline main layers and a number of amorphous secondary layers, the main layer substantially exclusively comprising iron as the magnetic constituent, and the secondary layer comprising mainly iron as the magnetic constituent. Such multilayer films exhibit a relatively low magnetostriction constant which is almost not influenced by temperature treatments. Such films are very suitable for use in magnetic heads.

Soft magnetic multilayer film and magnetic head provided with such a

A magnetic head (32) having a magnet core (30) of ferrite and a layer of a bonding material (28) consisting of glass in the gap-forming area of the magnet core (38). In order to ensure that on the one hand the ferrite be not attacked by the glass during the bonding process and that on the other hand the temperature adjustment during the bonding process is not too critical, double layer diffusion barriers are provided between the layer of bonding material (28) and the core parts (10) and (10'), respectively, which barriers are formed by a layer of silicon nitride (26) on the side of the bonding layer (28) and a layer of silicon oxide (24) on the side of the core parts (10) and (10'), respectively.

Method of manufacturing a glass-bonded magnetic head having diffusion

A magnetic head (1) having two core parts (2,3) of a magnetic material between which a non-magnetic transducing gap (4) is formed which has a central part (21) having a gap length which is selected to transduce the carrier frequency of a video signal and having a width which is defined by first and second side gaps (22,23) having gap lengths which are selected to suppress the carrier frequency of a video signal, the first and second side gaps (22,23) being bounded by indentations (7,8) in the sides of the core parts (2,3) and being filled with a material which bonds the two core parts (7,8) together.

Magnetic head having a step-shaped gap

A magnetic head (32) includes a magnet core (30) of ferrite and a layer of a bonding material (28) consisting of glass in the gap-forming area of the magnet core (38). In order to ensure that the ferrite is not attacked by the glass during the bonding process and that the temperature adjustment during the bonding process is not too critical, double layer diffusion barriers are provided between the layer of bonding material (28) and the core parts (10), (10'), respectively. Each barrier is formed by a layer of silicon nitride (26) on the side of the bonding layer (28) and a layer of silicon oxide (24) on the side of the core.
