A thin film magnetic head comprising a substrate, a lower magnetic pole provided on the substrate, a write gap layer located on the lower magnetic pole, and an upper magnetic pole located on the gap layer, the upper magnetic pole including a plating base layer in contact with the gap layer, wherein the plating base layer of the upper magnetic pole is made of a magnetic film having a saturation magnetic flux density of 1.2 T or larger. The thin film magnetic head has an increased recording density, and is adapted to recording at an increased frequency.

Thin film magnetic head

This invention is to provide a magnetic head consisting of NiFeMo alloy which assures excellent high frequency characteristic and makes easy formation of magnetic domain structure without any heat treatment and thereby contributes to improvement of magnetic recording capability. Magnetic material for a magnetic head includes Ni, Fe and Mo. The composition ratio of NiFeMo is selected under the condition where Ni is 77 to 82 atom %, Fe is 15 to 21 atom %, Mo is under 6 atom %, and magnetic strain constant &lgr;s is in the range of &minus;1&times;10 &lE;&lgr;s &lE;10 .

Magnetic material and magnetic head using the same and magnetic storage device having thereof

A spin valve magnetoresistive head includes a first soft magnetic layer and a second soft magnetic layer having larger internal stress than that of the first magnetic layer. The larger internal stress of the second soft magnetic layer is created by injecting the second soft magnetic layer with a selected type of ion. Also included in the head is a nonmagnetic layer formed between the first soft magnetic layer and the second soft magnetic layer.
