Manipulation and magnetostriction of NiFe films for advanced reader shielding applications

Manipulation and magnetostriction of NiFe films for advanced reader shielding applications

This thesis investigates NiFe thin films grown by DC magnetron co-sputtering, with particular emphasis on their suitability as shielding in magnetic recording read heads. Initially, the magnetic, structural and crystallographic properties of NiFe films of varying compositions were investigated, as w...
