Abstract
Inductance-saturation characteristics in thin film heads are measureme nts of inductance as a function of write current. These measurements t ypically exhibit a series of step-like inductance discontinuities as v arious segments of the magnetic core saturate. In this work, we presen t a framework for interpreting the location and magnitude of these dis continuities and discuss what they reveal about the physical constitut ion of the core.
