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...
