High Dielectric

We present numerical simulation results showing that high dielectric materials (HDMs) when placed between the human body model and the body coil significantly alter the electromagnetic field inside the body. The numerical simulation results show that the electromagnetic field (E, B, and SAR) within a region of interest (ROI) is concentrated (increased). In addition, the average electromagnetic fields decreased significantly outside the region of interest. The calculation results using a human body model and HDM of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) show that the mean local SAR was decreased by about 56% (i.e., 18.7 vs. 8.2 W/kg) within the body model.

First Time

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) effects on GMR recording heads have been reported as the major cause of head failure. Since the information density in hard-disk drives has dramatically increased, the GMR head will be no longer in use. The tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) read heads are initially introduced for a 100 Gbit/in2 density or more. Though the failure mechanism of ESD in GMR recording heads has not been explicitly understood in detail, a study to protect from this effect has to be done. As the TMR head has been commercially started, the ESD effect must be considered. This is the first time that the TMR equivalent circuit has been reported in order to evaluate the ESD effect. A standard human body model (HBM) is discharged across R+ and R- where the capacitances of flex on suspension (FOS) are varied. It is intriguingly found that the electrical characteristics of the TMR head during the discharge period depend on the discharge position. This may be explained in terms of the asymmetry impedance of TMR by using adapted Thevenin's theory. The effect of FOS components on TMR recording heads is also discussed.
