  • MAGNETORESISTIVE (MR) HEADS and the EARLIEST MR HEAD-BASED DISK DRIVES: SAWMILL and CORSAIR Christopher H
    MAGNETORESISTIVE (MR) HEADS AND THE EARLIEST MR HEAD-BASED DISK DRIVES: SAWMILL AND CORSAIR Christopher H. Bajorek, Storage Interest Group Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA (Updated November, 2014) Why it is Important Hard disk drives (HDDs) have survived as the information storage device of choice because of the sustained and steep advances achieved in storage density. Density advances required downward scaling of the key components. The resulting smaller head-disk spacing and reduced magnetic fields from the disk were the key technology challenges. The reduction in the size of stored bits caused signal amplitude reductions which necessitated the invention of more powerful detectors. Magnetoresistive (MR) heads were the successful answer. These new film heads, together with new film disks, provided successful components for future HDDs up to the present time. They solved the joint challenge of ultra small signals and ever-reduced spacing of the heads and disks. Since 1990, this combination improved data density, with concomitant cost per bit reductions, by approximately 20,000 times. Two companies led the industry in independently developing MR heads, IBM and HP. IBM was first to market in 1990. HP was second in 1994. Seagate also benefited from the HP heads since 1995. The rest of the industry started using MR heads in 1996. Magnetoresistive (MR) Heads Prior to 1990, all hard disk drives used the same inductive head for reading and writing. The readback signal amplitude from an inductive head is proportional to the magnetic flux captured from a stored bit, to the number of turns of wire wrapped on the head, and to the velocity at which the head flies on the disk.

  • Physics and Measurements of Magnetic Materials
    Physics and measurements of magnetic materials S. Sgobba CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract Magnetic materials, both hard and soft, are used extensively in several components of particle accelerators. Magnetically soft iron–nickel alloys are used as shields for the vacuum chambers of accelerator injection and extraction septa; Fe-based material is widely employed for cores of accelerator and experiment magnets; soft spinel ferrites are used in collimators to damp trapped modes; innovative materials such as amorphous or nanocrystalline core materials are envisaged in transformers for high- frequency polyphase resonant convertors for application to the International Linear Collider (ILC). In the field of fusion, for induction cores of the linac of heavy-ion inertial fusion energy accelerators, based on induction accelerators requiring some 107 kg of magnetic materials, nanocrystalline materials would show the best performance in terms of core losses for magnetization rates as high as 105 T/s to 107 T/s. After a review of the magnetic properties of materials and the different types of magnetic behaviour, this paper deals with metallurgical aspects of magnetism. The influence of the metallurgy and metalworking processes of materials on their microstructure and magnetic properties is studied for different categories of soft magnetic materials relevant for accelerator technology. Their metallurgy is extensively treated. Innovative materials such as iron powder core materials, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials are also studied. A section considers the measurement, both destructive and non-destructive, of magnetic properties. Finally, a section discusses magnetic lag effects. 1 Magnetic properties of materials: types of magnetic behaviour The sense of the word ‘lodestone’ (waystone) as magnetic oxide of iron (magnetite, Fe3O4) is from 1515, while the old name ‘lodestar’ for the pole star, as the star leading the way in navigation, is from 1374.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Compact Magnetic Shielding Using Thick-Film Electroplated Permalloy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering by Jimmy Chen-Yen Wu 2020 © Copyright by Jimmy Chen-Yen Wu 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Compact Magnetic Shielding Using Thick-Film Electroplated Permalloy by Jimmy Chen-Yen Wu Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Robert N. Candler, Chair Compact integration of clocks and inertial sensors using atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) technology is necessary to create a self-contained navigation system resistant to external interference. However, the trend in miniaturization of AMO systems places the magnetic field of particle traps, optical isolators, and vacuum pumps close to other system components. Stray fields and field fluctuations cause changes in atomic transition frequencies, raising the noise floor and reducing the valuable stability in these precision devices. Therefore, it is critical to shield these magnetic fields away from sensitive subsystems by shunting them through low reluctance paths. This is accomplished with high permeability magnetic materials which either surround the precision components or the source of the magnetic field itself. Current magnetic shields are conventionally machined single or multi-layer structures made of various iron alloys. At smaller size scales, these manufacturing methods are ineffective at accommodating the various device and interconnect shapes, making multi-system integration challenging. This work demonstrates batch fabricated high permeability magnetic shielding using permalloy electroplating techniques to simultaneously push the limits of minimum size, maximum shielding factor, and minimum cost.

  • Additive Manufacturing of Magnetic Shielding and Ultra
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Additive manufacturing of magnetic shielding and ultra- high vacuum fange for cold atom Received: 1 November 2017 Accepted: 12 January 2018 sensors Published: xx xx xxxx Jamie Vovrosh 1, Georgios Voulazeris 1,3, Plamen G. Petrov 1, Ji Zou2, Youssef Gaber2, Laura Benn3, David Woolger3, Moataz M. Attallah 2, Vincent Boyer1, Kai Bongs1 & Michael Holynski1 Recent advances in the understanding and control of quantum technologies, such as those based on cold atoms, have resulted in devices with extraordinary metrological performance. To realise this potential outside of a lab environment the size, weight and power consumption need to be reduced. Here we demonstrate the use of laser powder bed fusion, an additive manufacturing technique, as a production technique relevant to the manufacture of quantum sensors. As a demonstration we have constructed two key components using additive manufacturing, namely magnetic shielding and vacuum chambers. The initial prototypes for magnetic shields show shielding factors within a factor of 3 of conventional approaches. The vacuum demonstrator device shows that 3D-printed titanium structures are suitable for use as vacuum chambers, with the test system reaching base pressures of 5 ± 0.5 × 10−10 mbar. These demonstrations show considerable promise for the use of additive manufacturing for cold atom based quantum technologies, in future enabling improved integrated structures, allowing for the reduction in size, weight and assembly complexity. Quantum technologies utilising atom clouds are highly promising tools for creating ever more sensitive devices with applications in a vast array of areas ranging from geophysical type applications1,2 to satellite independent navigation3.
