Abstract
A composite magnetic head in which a single crystal ferrite is used at the slide contact portion with the magnetic recording medium and a polycrystalline ferrite is used at the portion constituting the back magnetic circuit, is disclosed. An oxide magnetic thin film is formed at the junction interface between the single crystal ferrite and the polycrystalline ferrite for providing a magnetic head free from diffusion at the junction surface and evidencing only a low slide noise level.
Claims8
A composite type magnetic head including a single crystal ferrite having a magnetic gap at the portion which contacts the magnetic recording medium and a polycrystalline ferrite magnetically coupled to said single crystal ferrite and having a portion constituting a back magnetic circuit, and
- an oxide magnetic thin film at the junction interface between said single crystal ferrite portion and the polycrystalline ferrite portion, said thin film resulting from crystal grains of very fine and uniform size which exhibit non-uniform grain growth when heated.
A composite type magnetic head including a single crystal ferrite having a magnetic gap at the portion which contacts a magnetic recording medium and a polycrystalline ferrite facing said single crystal ferrite and having a portion constituting a back magnetic circuit, and
- at least one oxide magnetic thin film at the junction interface between said single crystal ferrite portion and the polycrystalline ferrite portion, said single crystal ferrite portion including a plurality of magnetic thin films which contact each other to form a magnetic gap.
