Magnetic heads having low magnetic coercivity (Hc) and high saturated magnetic flux density (Bs) in ferromagnetic (FM) layer(s) or shield(s) with minimized saturation

A magnetic write head, comprising:

• a main pole;
• a trailing shield;
• a leading shield;
• a side shield;
• and
• one or more texture enabling structures, wherein one or more of the main pole, the trailing shield, the leading shield, and the side shield is disposed on a corresponding texture enabling structure, wherein the texture enabling structure includes a (100) orientation enabling layer disposed on an amorphous layer, the (100) orientation enabling layer comprising RuAl or CrMo, and wherein the main pole, the trailing shield, the leading shield, or the side shield that is disposed on a corresponding texture enabling structure has a (100) orientation.

A magnetic write head, comprising:

• a main pole;
• a trailing shield;
• a spin orbit torque (SOT) layer disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield;
• a texture enabling structure disposed between the main pole and the SOT layer, wherein the spin orbit torque (SOT) layer is disposed on the texture enabling structure;
• and
• a texture transfer structure disposed between the SOT layer and the trailing shield, wherein the texture transfer structure comprises NiAl, IrAl, CoAl, RhAl, or RuAl, or wherein the texture transfer structure is a multilayer structure comprising an insulating layer sandwiched between layers of NiAl, IrAl, CoAl, RhAl, or RuAl.
