The present embodiments relate to a perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) write head with an STO element and configured to direct an electric current between elements of the write head. A first example embodiment describes a perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) write head. The PMR write head can include a main pole comprising a tip portion disposed adjacent to an air bearing surface (ABS) and is configured to interact with a magnetic recording medium. The PMR write head can also include a spin torque oscillator (STO) element disposed adjacent to the main pole. The PMR write head can also include a side shield layer with a portion of the side shield layer disposed adjacent to the ABS. The PMR write head can also include a metallic side gap layer disposed between the main pole and the side shield layer.

The present disclosure generally relates to a bismuth antimony (BiSb) based STO (spin torque oscillator) sensor. The STO sensor comprises a SOT device and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure. By utilizing a BiSb layer within the SOT device, a larger spin Hall angle (SHA) can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the STO sensor.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a magnetic recording device comprising a magnetic recording head. The magnetic recording head comprises a main pole, the main pole comprising a contact recessed from a media facing surface (MFS) and a contact terminal coupled to the contact, a trailing shield disposed adjacent to the main pole, a spin torque oscillator (STO) device disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield, a leading shield disposed adjacent to the main pole, the contact being disposed over the leading shield, a first alternating current (AC) source coupled to the main pole and the contact terminal, and a second AC source coupled to the trailing shield and the main pole. The first AC source is configured to generate an AC field, and the AC field is configured to generate spin waves near the contact to transfer energy to the STO device.
