    摘要: The present invention addresses the problem of providing an element which uses the current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPPGMR) effect of a thin film having the three-layer structure of ferromagnetic metal/non-magnetic metal/ferromagnetic metal. The problem is solved by a magnetoresistive element provided with a lower ferromagnetic layer and an upper ferromagnetic layer which contain a Heusler alloy, and a spacer layer sandwiched between the lower ferromagnetic layer and the upper ferromagnetic layer, the magnetoresistive element being characterized in that the spacer layer contains an alloy having a bcc structure. Furthermore, it is preferable for the alloy to have a disordered bcc structure.

    摘要: A tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) device, like a magnetic recording disk drive read head, has a nitrogen-containing layer between the MgO barrier layer and the free and/or reference ferromagnetic layers that contain boron. In one embodiment the free ferromagnetic layer includes a boron-containing layer and a trilayer nanolayer structure between the MgO barrier layer and the boron-containing layer. The trilayer nanolayer structure includes a thin Co, Fe or CoFe first nanolayer in contact with the MgO layer, a thin FeN or CoFeN second nanolayer on the first nanolayer and a thin Co, Fe or CoFe third nanolayer on the FeN or CoFeN nanolayer between the FeN or CoFeN nanolayer and the boron-containing layer. If the reference ferromagnetic layer also includes a boron-containing layer then a similar trilayer nanolayer structure may be located between the boron-containing layer and the MgO barrier layer.
