Abstract: A magnetoresistive sensing device for detection of cylindrical magnetic domains (bubble domains) in magnetic bubble sheets. Cancellation of noise due to fields (such as the propagation (drive) field) which intercept the sensing element is achieved by using two magnetoresistive sensing elements whose combined voltage (or current) output is constant in the absence of a bubble domain. In one sensing element, the measuring current through the element is substantially parallel to the magnetization direction of that element, while in the second element, the measuring current is substantially perpendicular to the magnetization direction of the second element. In a preferred embodiment, two sensing elements are electrically connected in series and the sum of their resistances is constant when the device is being operated, in the absence of domains. When a domain is present, the sum of the resistances is different, so the output of the device changes. Each sensor can be associated with a different information channel (or group of channels) in which domains are propagated.

Abstract: A method for making a high density magnetic bubble domain system including the functions of read, write, storage, transfer, and annihilation. Only three masking steps are required, of which only one requires critical alignment. The proces makes use of the fact that magnetic disks can be placed on non ion implanted regions without adversely affecting the propagation properties of the implanted regions. Thus, the magnetic disks can be used to define ion implantation masks as well as for providing functions such as generation, propagation, reading, and annihilation. Magnetic elements for generation, storage and propagation, reading and annihilation are deposited in the same non-critical masking step, while all condutors used for writing, reading, and transfer are deposited by a single masking step requiring critical alignment.

Abstract: A three-dimensional magnetic bubble device formed by depositing, on a flexible substrate, a plurality of pseudo-chips of amorphous metallic film capable of supporting magnetic bubbles. These pseudo-chips are interconnected by thin-film conductors also deposited on the flexible substrate. The substrate is then folded, on itself, a number of times to produce a three-dimensional magnetic bubble device. Optionally, a low temperature lamination step can be employed to complete the process. The folding step or steps, result in a number of layers, to which a common rotating magnetic field may be applied for propagation purposes.

Abstract: 1369573 Magnetic storage devices INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 28 Sept 1972 [26 Oct 1971] 44737/72 Heading H3B A sensor of small magnetic fields, such as bubble domains, comprises a magneto-resistive element whose dimensions are sufficiently small, e.g. 200 angstroms thick, 7À5 microns long and 5 microns wide, as to have both a uniaxial anisotropy field imparted during manufacture, and a shape anisotropy field determined by the relationship of its unequal length and width dimensions, the two anisotropy fields being mutually perpendicular and the larger of the two fields being substantially perpendicular to the magnetic field to be detected. As shown in Fig. 1A, a rectangular magnetoresistive element 18 is associated with an orthoferrite or garnet sheet 10 in which bubble domains are propagated by the combination of a permalloy T and I bar pattern and an in-plane rotating magnetic field H. A rectangular magnetoresistive sensor element 18 formed, e.g. of permalloy; and located on or adjacent to the sheet 10, is connected to a constant current source 20 by leads 19, changes of resistance due to magnetic field proximity being indicated to a utilization means 22 as a change of voltage Vs. The sensor element has an easy axis of magnetization E.A. transverse to its length, and has a shape anisotropy field greater than the uniaxial anisotropy field so that the magnetization vector M is normally directed along the length of the element. When a bubble domain 30, Fig. 1B, is moved into a position adjacent the sensor element 18, the external field H B of the domain coupled with the element causes rotation of its magnetization vector M and consequential change in the element resistance. It is stated that the use of both uniaxial and shape anisotropy enhances the detection sensitivity to small magnetic fields. In a modification. Figs. 2A and 2B, the sensor element is arranged so that it is parallel to an external domain field H B along its length dimension. As before the easy axis of magnetization E.A. extends across the width of the element, but in this case the shape anisotropy field is less than the uniaxial anisotropy field so that the normal position of the magnetization vector M is parallel to the easy direction of magnetization. This vector is rotated towards the length dimension of the element by an adjacent bubble domain 30 as shown in Fig. 2B. The sheet 10 is subjected to a bias field H z derived from a permanent magnet, an energized coil or an adjacent magnetic sheet. The sensor may be used to read out a pattern of domain reversals extending across a moving magnetic tape, Fig. 3A (not shown), in which case the sensor element is mounted with electrical connections on an insulating substrate. Such an element is formed by evaporation deposition on a magnetic sheet or insulating substrate in the presence of a magnetic field with the subsequent selective formation of electrical connections by masking, electroplating and etching.

Abstract: A bubble domain storage system is described which has the best features of contiguous element bubble propagation systems and bubble lattice file systems. An array of magnetic bubble domains, such as a lattice, is moved along contiguous propagation patterns in response to the reorientation of a magnetic field in the plane of the bubble domain film. Adjacent rows of bubble domains in the array move in opposite directions to provide individual storage loops within the array. Information accessing can be achieved by the use of input/output registers similar to those used in other contiguous disk bubble domain storage systems. For example, the storage system can be a conventional major/minor loop organization using contiguous element propagation patterns for the storage registers and for the input/output registers. Every bit position in the storage registers is populated by a bubble domain where the average distance between adjacent bubble domains is less than that in a system where bubbles are isolated from one another. For example, the storage registers can be arranged so that the separation between adjacent bubble domains in the storage registers is 2-3 bubble diameters. The bubbles are coded in terms of the magnetic properties of individual bubble domains, or a double layer structure can be used in which an array of bubble domains is in one layer and information bubble domains are in the other layer, coded in accordance with presence/absence. Viewed another way, the invention is a bubble storage system using contiguous propagation elements which is fully populated by interacting bubble domains.

Abstract: An improved magnetic bubble domain nucleator is provided which uses a magnetic wall, such as a charged wall, Neel wall, or Bloch wall, to assist nucleation. In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic charged wall is produced in an ion implanted region of a magnetic material with an in-plane magnetic field, and an applied nucleating magnetic field is produced by current in a conductor. The combination of the first magnetic field associated with the charged wall and the second magnetic field produced by current through the conductor is sufficient to nucleate a bubble domain in the magnetic medium whereas each of these fields acting alone is not sufficient for nucleation. Since the first magnetic field provides a component of the total nucleating field, the amount of nucleation current required in the conductor is reduced. Any structure that can be used to provide the magnetic charged wall, including ion implanted regions of a magnetic material, or an apertured layer of magnetically soft material is suitable in the practice of this invention. The structure for providing the second magnetic field is conveniently provided by a current carrying conductor, or by a magnetic element having a stray field associated therewith, or even by another magnetic bubble domain. Thus, this invention seeks to use naturally occurring magnetic walls to assist bubble nucleation rather than using additional structure.
