摘要：

A magnetic read head comprises a magnetic sensor mounted on a back surface of a slider, wherein the magnetic sensor includes a nonmagnetic member, a conductive shunt positioned adjacent to the nonmagnetic member, a first conductor electrically connected to the nonmagnetic member, and a second conductor electrically connected to the nonmagnetic member. Magnetic sensors comprising a nonmagnetic member including a material selected from the group consisting of: Bi, Sb and As, and alloys of Bi, Sb and As; a shunt conductor positioned adjacent to the nonmagnetic member; a first conductor electrically connected to the nonmagnetic member; and a second conductor electrically connected to the nonmagnetic member are also provided. Disc drives that include the read heads and sensors are also included.
