A magnetoresistance effect head is disclosed which is provided with a spin valve film of the three-layer laminate construction comprising a pair of magnetic layers made of a Co-based alloy and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer interposed between the pair of magnetic layers. This magnetoresistance effect head satisfies the expressions, 3.ltoreq.d.sub.1 .ltoreq.7, 3.ltoreq.d.sub.2 .ltoreq.7, and 0.ltoreq. (d.sub.1 -d.sub.2)/d.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.40, wherein d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 stand for the thicknesses (nm) of the pair of magnetic layers (providing d.sub.1 .gtoreq.d.sub.2). A soft magnetic layer of high resistance is disposed contiguously to that of the pair of magnetic layers which has the direction of magnetization thereof varied by an external magnetic layer. The total thickness of this soft magnetic layer and the magnetic layer contiguous thereto is in the range of from 5 to 40 nm. In the case of a magnetoresistance effect head which is provided with a spin valve film of the five-layer laminate construction, the thicknesses (nm), d.sub.1 and d.sub.2, of the two outer magnetic layers similarly satisfy the conditions mentioned above. Further, the thickness (nm), d.sub.3, of the center magnetic layer satisfies the expression, 1.ltoreq.d.sub.3 .ltoreq.2/3d.sub.1. As a result, the magnetoresistance effect head acquires the ability to produce a large rate of change of magnetic resistance with high repeatability.

摘要:
In a spin valve type element, an interface insertion layer (32, 34) of a material exhibiting large spin-dependent interface scattering is inserted in a location of a magnetically pinned layer (16) or a magnetically free layer (20) closer to a nonmagnetic intermediate layer (18). A nonmagnetic back layer (36) may be additionally inserted as an interface not in contact with the nonmagnetic intermediate layer to increase the output by making use of spin-dependent interface scattering along the interface between the pinned layer and the nonmagnetic back layer or between the free layer and the nonmagnetic back layer.
