Abstract
- Magnetization dynamics during field reversal in thin film recording heads are studied via micromagnetic modeling. It is found that head field reversal under the current field can be characterized by two stages: an initial stage that is mainly governed by the gyromagnetic motion and virtually independent of energy damping, followed by a damping stage that strongly depends on the energy damping constant. Due to the finite energy damping in practical recording heads, the head field amplitude will roll off at high recording frequencies. Simply decreasing the current rise time or increasing current amplitude will not alleviate the situation, but rather worsen it. There exists an optimum current rise time at which the head field rise time is minimized and the roll-off frequency is maximized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
