Abstract: A magnetic transducer having an air-bearing surface (ABS) is described. The magnetic transducer includes a pole and at least one coil for energizing the pole. The pole has a pole tip proximate to the ABS, a yoke distal from the ABS, and a bottom surface including a bottom bevel. At least the yoke includes at least one sidewall having a first angle and a second angle. The first angle is between the bottom surface and the at least one sidewall. The second angle is a constant distance along the at least one sidewall from the first angle.

Abstract: A perpendicular magnetic recording head including: a data recording module comprising a main pole, a return pole, and a coil wrapped around the main pole; and a data reproduction module including magnetic shield layers and a reading device located between the magnetic shield layers, wherein the width of a lower end of the main pole is gradually reduced in a downward direction thereof, and the lower end of the main pole comprises a first part and a second part extending from the first part, the first part having a curved surface of a first curvature and the second part having a curved surface of a second curvature. The first curvature can be equal to or different from the second curvature, and magnetic shield devices can be further disposed on both sides of the lower end of the main pole.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thin film magnetic device realizing effective improvement in magnetic permeability in a high frequency area. The thin film magnetic device includes a thin film coil and a plurality of strip-shaped magnetic films disposed along a plane in which the thin film coil extends. The plurality of strip-shaped magnetic films are disposed to extend in one direction only in a pair of areas facing each other. The pair of areas is selected from four areas obtained by dividing, in the winding direction, the area where the thin film coil extends.
