Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording head of a disk drive includes a main pole configured to generate a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to a recording layer of a recording medium, a write shield magnetic pole opposite to a trailing side of the main pole with a gap, a coil configured to excite a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, and a high-frequency oscillator provided between a tip portion of the main pole on a side of the recording medium and the write shield magnetic pole to generate a high-frequency magnetic field. The write shield magnetic pole includes an end face opposite to the high-frequency oscillator and the end face is formed so that a distance from the main pole increases with an increasing distance from the recording medium.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording head includes a disk-facing surface configured to face a recording layer of a recording medium, a main magnetic pole includes a distal end located on the disk-facing surface and configured to apply a recording magnetic field to the recording layer of the recording medium, a leading shield on a leading side of the main magnetic pole, opposed to the distal end of the main magnetic pole across a gap, a high-frequency oscillator between the leading shield and the distal end of the main magnetic pole, and a recording coil configured to excite the main magnetic pole with a magnetic field.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording head includes a main pole configured to apply a recording magnetic field to a recording layer of a recording medium, and a high-frequency oscillator disposed adjacent to the main pole and near a air-bearing surface which faces the recording medium. The high-frequency oscillator includes a lower end surface located nearest to the air-bearing surface and an upper end surface located farthest from the air-bearing surface. A length of the lower end surface in a cross track direction is longer than a length of the upper end surface in the cross track direction.
