A type of sensor with characteristic of ΔR/R 20-150% => ADC > 1 Tb/in²:

A. AMR
B. TMR
C. GMR

Correct Answer

A. B. TMR

Explanation

TMR stands for Tunneling Magnetoresistance, which is a type of sensor that has a characteristic of ΔR/R 20-150%. This means that the change in resistance (ΔR) divided by the initial resistance (R) can range from 20% to 150%. The answer choice b. TMR fits this description, making it the correct answer.

Soft side shield advantage are:

A. narrow µMRW and less side reading
B. uniform biasing and ASYM sigma reduction
C. LS2 pinning adds stabilization to biasing self recov
D. All of the above

Correct Answer

A. D. All of the above

Explanation

The correct answer is d. All of the above. This means that all of the advantages mentioned in options a, b, and c are applicable to soft side shields. These advantages include a narrow µMRW (micro magnetic recording width) and less side reading, uniform biasing, ASYM (asymmetric) sigma reduction, and stabilization of biasing through LS2 pinning. Soft side shields offer these benefits, making them a preferable option.

It is a longest wide material use in barrier for read head generation:

A. MgO
B. FeO
C. SnO
D. NiO

Correct Answer

A. A. MgO

Explanation

MgO is the correct answer because it is a widely used material in barrier for read head generation. MgO, or magnesium oxide, has excellent electrical and magnetic properties, making it suitable for use in read heads. It is known for its high electrical insulation, thermal stability, and low magnetic moment, which are important characteristics in barrier materials for read heads. MgO also has a high melting point and good chemical stability, making it a durable and reliable choice for this application.

IBM commercialized first GMR head in what year?:

A. 1999
B. 1997
C. 1990
D. 2000

Correct Answer

A. B. 1997

Explanation

IBM commercialized the first GMR head in 1997. GMR (Giant Magnetoresistance) technology revolutionized the data storage industry by allowing for higher storage densities and improved performance in hard disk drives. By utilizing the GMR effect, IBM was able to develop a more sensitive and accurate read/write head for their hard drives. This advancement in technology played a crucial role in the development of smaller and more powerful storage devices.

A type of sensor that has significant RG reduction:

A. D5 sensor
B. D3 sensor
C. E5 sensor

Correct Answer

A. A. D5 sensor

Explanation

The D5 sensor is the correct answer because it has significant RG reduction. This means that the D5 sensor is able to effectively reduce the amount of noise and interference in the signal it receives, resulting in a more accurate and reliable measurement. The other options, D3 and E5 sensors, do not have this significant RG reduction capability.

Stray field sensitivity is categorized as what interference:

A. noise
B. BER
C. electron
D. magnetic field

Correct Answer

A. A. noise

Explanation

Stray field sensitivity refers to the sensitivity of a device or system to external magnetic fields. These stray fields can interfere with the proper functioning of the device or system, leading to errors or disruptions in the signal. This interference is commonly known as noise, which is any unwanted or random signal that can affect the accuracy or quality of the desired signal. Therefore, the correct categorization for stray field sensitivity is "a. noise."

AFM stands for what:

Correct Answer
Antiferromagnetic material

Explanation
AFM stands for Antiferromagnetic material. Antiferromagnetic materials are substances that exhibit a type of magnetic ordering in which the magnetic moments of neighboring atoms or ions align in opposite directions, resulting in a net magnetization of zero. This phenomenon occurs due to the interaction between the spins of the electrons in the material. Antiferromagnetic materials have unique properties and are used in various applications, such as data storage devices and spintronics.
