    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 magnetoresistance effect element comprises: a magnetoresistance effect film, a pair of electrodes, and a phase separation layer. The magnetoresistance effect film includes a first ferromagnetic layer whose direction of magnetization is pinned substantially in one direction, a second ferromagnetic layer whose direction of magnetization changes in response to an external magnetic field, and an intermediate layer provided between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The pair of electrodes are electrically coupled to the magnetoresistance effect film and configured to supply a sense current perpendicularly to a film plane of the magnetoresistance effect film. The phase separation layer is provided between the pair of electrodes. The phase separation layer has a first phase and a second phase formed by a phase separation in a solid phase from an alloy including a plurality of elements. One of the first and second phases includes at least one element selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine and carbon in higher concentration than other of the first and second phases.

    摘要: A magnetoresistance effect element has a pair of ferromagnetic layers with a middle non-magnetic metallic layer interposed therebetween. The middle non-magnetic metallic layer has lamination structure of non-magnetic metallic thin films formed of at least two kinds of non-magnetic metallic materials. In the lamination structure of the non-magnetic metallic thin film, Fermi energies of the non-magnetic metallic thin films disposed on interface sides of the ferromagnetic layers has a value closer to a Fermi energy in a direction of spin whose electron spin dependent mean free path is long among Fermi energies of the ferromagnetic layers. A non-magnetic metallic thin film is disposed between such two non-magnetic metallic thin films. Difference in Fermi energy between non-magnetic metallic thin films made of two kinds of non-magnetic metallic materials is 0.5 eV or more. By the use of such a middle non-magnetic metallic layer, while the thickness thereof is as thin as possible, exchange coupling between ferromagnetic layers can be small. Thus, resistance change sensitivity can be enhanced.
