Abstract:
A magnetoresistive effect device includes a magnetoresistive effect element including a magnetization fixed layer, a spacer layer, and a magnetization free layer; a first port; a second port; a signal line; an impedance element; and a direct-current input terminal. The first port, the magnetoresistive effect element, and the second port are connected in series in this order via the signal line. The impedance element is connected to ground and to the signal line between the magnetoresistive effect element and the first port or the second port. The direct-current input terminal is connected to the signal line at the opposite side to the impedance element with the magnetoresistive effect element in between the direct-current input terminal and the impedance element. A closed circuit including the magnetoresistive effect element, the signal line, the impedance element, the ground, and the direct-current input terminal is to be formed.
Abstract:
An MR element suppressing a false writing into a medium with an MR part has a CPP structure. The MR part includes a nonmagnetic intermediate layer and first and second ferromagnetic layers so as to interpose the nonmagnetic intermediate layer. First and second shield layers respectively have an inclining magnetization structure of which a magnetization is inclined with regard to a track width direction. The first and second ferromagnetic layers are respectively, magnetically coupled with the first and second shield layers. A magnetization direction adjustment layer for adjusting at least a magnetization direction of the first ferromagnetic layer is positioned at a rear end surface side of the first ferromagnetic layer, which is opposite to a front end surface receiving a magnetic field detected in the MR part.
