Abstract
Domain stability in patterned exchange stabilized MR/SAL heads is stud ied via micromagnetic modeling. It is found that the domain instabilit y can be: eliminated by making the stripe short and setting the initia l magnetization direction in the SAL layer in the opposite direction o f the exchange pinning field in the MR layer.
