Mayergoyz, I. D.Madabhushi, R.Burke, E. R.Gomez, R. D.By using conical coordinates, exact analytical solutions for three-dimensional side-fringing fields of recording heads that are beveled in the down-track direction are found. These solutions are derived under the assumption of zero gap length. The side-fringing fields for the two limiting cases of infinitesimally narrow heads and semi-infinitely wide heads are presented and compared.en-USside-fringing fieldsArticle
