    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 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.

    摘要: A GMR head comprising a spin valve GMR film, which has a free layer containing a Co containing magnetic layer, and a hard magnetic biasing film for inputting a bias magnetic field to the spin valve GMR film. The hard magnetic biasing film is constituted of a film formed by laminating a hard magnetic layer on the magnetic under layer. The hard magnetic layer is disposed adjoining to edge portion of the spin valve GMR film through the magnetic under layer. The magnetic under layer has saturation magnetization Ms.sup.under which satisfies at least one condition of Ms.sup.under .gtoreq.Ms.sup.free and Ms.sup.under .gtoreq.Ms.sup.hard when saturation magnetization of the free layer is Ms.sup.free and saturation magnetization of the hard magnetic layer is Ms.sup.hard. In a MR head of this abutted junction structure, even when the track width is narrowed, occurrence of Barkhausen noise can be effectively suppressed.
