Abstract

A thin-film magnetic head includes at least one inductive write head element and at least one read magnetic head element, capable of controlling a spacing between a magnetic recording medium and the at least one magnetic read head element by heating. A gain SG (nm/° C.) of the spacing is greater than a spacing gain threshold SGTHLD (nm/° C.) defined by the following expression:SGLIMT=A*dPTP+B
