    摘要: A spin valve GMR element comprises a pair of magnetic biasing films disposed with a predetermined gap and a spin valve GMR film disposed in such a manner that at least both edge portions thereof are stacked on the pair of magnetic biasing films. The spin valve GMR film has a free layer containing a magnetic layer large in its saturation magnetization such as a Co containing magnetic layer. The magnetic biasing film has a laminate film composed of a high saturation magnetization magnetic layer and a magnetic hard layer. The high saturation magnetization layer, for a saturation magnetization Ms.sup.free of a free layer and a saturation magnetization of Ms.sup.hard of a magnetic hard layer, has a saturation magnetization Ms.sup.high satisfying at least one of Ms.sup.high .gtoreq.Ms.sup.free and Ms.sup.high .gtoreq.Ms.sup.hard. According to such a bias structure, when a spin valve GMR element of an over laid structure is narrowed in its track, Barkhausen noise can be effectively suppressed from occurring.

    摘要: 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: A base film of a hard magnetic film containing Co as a structural element has a crystal metal base film such as a Cr film formed on the main surface of a substrate and a reactive base film (mixing layer) formed between the substrate and the crystal metal base film and having a reactive amorphous layer containing a structural element of the substrate and a structural element of the crystal metal base film. A hard magnetic film containing Co as a structural element is formed on the crystal metal base film. With the crystal metal base film such as the Cr film formed on an amorphous layer, a hard magnetic film with a bi-crystal structure can be obtained with high reproducibility. With the hard magnetic film, magnetic characteristics such as coercive force Hc, residual magnetization Mr, saturated magnetization Ms, and square ratio S can be improved without need to use a thick base film. The hard magnetic film containing Co as a structural element is applied to a bias magnetic field applying film of a magnetoresistance effect device and a record layer of a magnetic record medium.
