Abstract

Eleven graphs show head efficiency versus gap length, complex permeance spectra, and modulus of efficiency spectra from 1000 Hz to 16 MHz for heads with gap lengths of 0.4 µm, 4 µm, 12 µm, and 50 µm, with conducting and with nonconducting gap spacers. Several optimization questions are also posed.
