Abstract

A thin film magnetic head, having a predetermined cut-off frequency is constructed of alternating first and second layers, the first layers include a magnetic material and the second layers include a resistive material. The resistivity of the second layers is chosen so that the head's cut-off frequency exceeds the head's required frequency response. The resistivity of the second layers is chosen to be considerably less than any level of resistivity which falls within the insulation regime.
