The magnetic film (10) is an alloy film comprising iron, cobalt and palladium. Molar content of palladium is 1-7 %, and the alloy film is formed by a spattering method. Another magnetic film according to the present invention comprises a ferromagnetic film (11), and a palladium film (12) or an alloy film including palladium, which are alternately layered. Thickness of the palladium film (12) or the alloy film including palladium is 0.05-0.28 nm, and the layered films (11, 12) are formed by a spattering method or a evaporation method.

There can be obtained a magnetic thin film for high frequency 1 which has both a high permeability and a high saturation magnetization by combining a T-L composition layer 5 comprising a T-L composition, wherein T is Fe or FeCo, and L is at least one element selected from the group consisting of C, B and N, with a Co based amorphous alloy layer 3 disposed on either of the surfaces of the T-L composition layer 5. Further, there can be obtained a magnetic thin film for high frequency 1 which has both a high permeability and a high saturation magnetization, and at the same time has a high resistivity by further providing the magnetic thin film with, in addition to the T-L composition layer 5 and the Co based amorphous alloy layer 3, a high resistance layer 7 having an electric resistance higher than the T-L composition layer 5 and the Co based amorphous alloy layer 3.

A magnetic memory device capable of improving write characteristic by providing a magnetic flux concentrator which can apply a current magnetic field generated by a write word line effectively to the storage layer of a TMR element. The magnetic memory device (1) includes the TMR element (13), a write word line (first wire) (11) electrically insulated from the TMR element (13), and a bit line (second wire) (12) to be electrically connected to the TMR element (13) and three-dimensionally intersecting the write word line (11) via the TMR element (13). The device further includes a magnetic flux concentrator (51) composed of a highly permeable layer arranged on both sides of the write word line (11) and along the surface of the write word line (11) opposite to the surface opposing to the TMR element (13). At least one of the side walls of the magnetic flux concentrator (51) is formed to protrude toward the TMR element (13) side from the write word line (11).

A magnetic recording medium having a high coercive force of a ferromagnetic metal layer, a high anisotropic magnetic field and/or normalized coercive force, and adaptable to high density recording. The magnetic recording medium comprises a substrate and a ferromagnetic metal layer containing at least Co and Cr formed thereon via a metallic underlying layer of Cr. Magnetic inversion is utilized for the recording. A region (1) which penetrates through the ferromagnetic metal layer and in which Cr is segregated are formed among the crystalline particles constituting the ferromagnetic metal layer. The Cr concentration in the intermediate portions of the region (1) in the direction of thickness of the ferromagnetic metal layer is smaller than that of the portions near the surface and near the metallic underlying layer. The crystalline particles of the ferromagnetic metal layer are constituted by a region (2) in which the Cr concentration increases toward the grain boundary and a region (3) which is formed at the center of the crystalline particle and whose Cr concentration is lower than that near the grain boundary. The maximum Cr concentration in the region (3) is smaller than the maximum Cr concentration in the region (2).

A 3,000-10,000 angstrom thick cobalt-platinum (CoPt) magnetic film is deposited onto a chromium (Cr) or tungsten (W) overlayer on a substrate (16), or is deposited directly onto the substrate (16). The deposited film has an appreciable component of its C-axis, which is parallel to the [00.2] direction, lying in the plane of the film. The component of the C-axis lies in the plane of the film throughout the entire thickness of the CoPt film, and the resultant magnetic film has a coercivity from 1,300-2,000 oersteds, depending upon which, if any, overlayer is included. The method for producing the magnetic film of the invention teaches sputtering the overlayer onto a substrate (16) maintained approximately at room temperature in an atmosphere of inert gas. After adjusting the pressure of the gas and controlling the distance (40) between the CoPt (34) sputtering target and the substrate (16), CoPt is sputtered such that the depositing Co and Pt atoms are thermalized while traversing the distance between the target (34) and the substrate (16). The film as deposited is magnetically isotropic in the plane, and may be configured as a permanent magnet having a resultant magnetization in the plane by exposure to an external magnetizing field oriented along the film plane.
