Abstract:
1. A magnetic structure comprising: a magnetic shield layer; a magnetic structural barrier layer on the magnetic shield layer, the magnetic structural barrier layer being amorphous as-deposited but at least partially crystalline after fabrication of the completed magnetic structure; a crystalline magnetic layer on the magnetic structural barrier layer, the magnetic structural barrier layer breaking a crystal structure coupling between the magnetic shield layer and the crystalline magnetic layer; a nonmagnetic layer on the crystalline magnetic layer; a pinning layer on the nonmagnetic layer; a pinned layer on the pinning layer, the pinning layer being magnetically coupled with the pinned layer; a free layer; and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned layer and the free layer.
