The present disclosure generally relates to a magnetic recording head comprising a spintronic device. The spintronic device is disposed between a main pole and a trailing shield of the magnetic recording head. The spintronic device comprises a multilayer spacer layer comprising a Cu layer in contact with a spin torque layer and a spin transparent texture layer disposed on the Cu layer, the spin transparent texture layer comprising AgSn or AgZn. A multilayer notch comprising a CoFe layer is disposed over the spin transparent texture layer of the multilayer spacer layer and a Heusler alloy layer is disposed on the CoFe layer, the Heusler alloy layer comprising CoMnGe, CoFeGe, or CoFeMnGe. The multilayer spacer layer and the multilayer notch result in the spintronic device having a high spin polarization and a reduced critical current.
