Abstract

An improved thin film magnetoresistive (MR) sensor uses an alloy comprising Fe.sub.(1-x) Mn.sub.x, where x is within the range of 0.3 to 0.4, as an antiferromagnetic layer to provide longitudinal exchange bias in the ferromagnetic MR layer. In a specific embodiment the exchange bias is at a high level and is independent of thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer over a wide range.
