The readback portion of the head is a conventional permalloy shielded, bottom spin valve sensor with a GMR ratio of 18 percent and a shield-to-shield spacing of 85nm.
Measurements of the resonance condition as a function of applied field direction are valuable for determining magnetic anisotropy energies and coupling between magnetic layers in multilayer structures such as the spin valves that are used as the active elements of read heads in modern disk drives.
Such pinning of the magnetic direction is needed for the functioning of a special structure known as a spin valve, which is used in modern read heads of computer hard disks.
