Abstract

In one embodiment, a magnetic head includes a main pole configured to write data to a magnetic medium, a trailing shield positioned on a trailing side of the main pole, and a STO between the main pole and the trailing shield, wherein the STO includes a laminated structure having a FGL, a spun polarization layer (SPL), and a non-magnetic spacer positioned between the FGL and the SPL, wherein the FGL includes a laminated structure having one or more layers of a CoFe alloy and a Heusler alloy alternately laminated in this order from an end of the FGL closest to the non-magnetic spacer. In another embodiment, a method is presented for forming such a magnetic head utilizing a FGL that includes a laminated structure baying layers of a CoFe alloy and a Heusler alloy alternately laminated in this order from an end of the FGL closest to the non-magnetic spacer.
