Abstract

Ion implantation is conducted in a desired area(s) of the surface of a magnetic layer, and annealing of the layer is carried out to control the composition in that desired area(s). The control of the composition may be facilitated by applying a one-directional or rotating magnetic field during ion implantation. In preparing a magnetic head, a portion of a magnetic pole at least on one side thereof in close proximity to a magnetic recording medium is formed into an iron or iron-based magnetic alloy film, at least part of which is subjected to ion implantation and annealing.
