Abstract
Thin-film transformer suitable for use in a thin-film magnetic head has two magnetically permeable thin layers 3 and 5 primary turn constituted by an electrically conducting which form a magnetic yoke. A layer 13 and a secondary turn constituted by an electrically conducting layer 15 are located in the yoke. A layer 21 of a superconducting material is provided between the layer 3 and the turns, or the turns are closely fitted together and made of a superconducting material themselves.
Claims2
A thin-film magnetic head comprising a first electrically conducting layer which constitutes an inductive transducing element, a face for magnetic flux coupling of the transducing element with a magnetic recording medium, a first magnetically permeable layer and a second magnetically permeable layer which together constitute a magnetic yoke having a transducing gap present on the face, the magnetically permeable layers extending on either side of the transducing element, characterized in that the magnetic head also has a second electrically conducting layer which together with the first electrically conducting layer and the magnetic yoke constitutes a transformer, said transformer further comprising a layer of superconducting material between the electrically conducting layers and one of the magnetically permeable layers which constitute the magnetic yoke.
