Low magnetic flux density interface layer for spin torque oscillator

Abstract

A magnetic field-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) head is provided, which includes a recording main pole, a seed layer, and a spin torque oscillator (STO) positioned over the main pole, in this order, in a stacking direction from a leading side to a trailing side of the recording head. The STO comprises a spin polarized layer (SPL), an interlayer with fcc structure, and a field generating layer (FGL), in this order in the stacking direction. The FGL comprises a low magnetic flux density interface (LMFDI) layer with bcc structure that directly contacts the interlayer.
