    摘要: Provided is a near-field light generator capable of avoiding a noise to the generated near-field light. The generator comprises a waveguide and a plasmon antenna comprising a propagation surface or edge, for propagating surface plasmon, extending to a near-field light generating end. A portion of one side surface of the waveguide is opposed to a portion of the propagation surface or edge, so as for the waveguide light to be coupled with the plasmon antenna. And an end surface of the waveguide is inclined in such a way as to become away from the plasmon antenna toward the near-field light generating end side. The light that propagates through the waveguide and is not transformed into surface plasmon is refracted or totally reflected in the inclined end surface, does not come close to the generated near-field light, thus does not become a noise for the generated near-field light.

    摘要: An MR element incorporates a nonmagnetic conductive layer, and a pinned layer and a free layer that are disposed to sandwich the nonmagnetic conductive layer. Each of the pinned layer and the free layer includes a Heusler alloy layer. The Heusler alloy layer contains a Heusler alloy in which atoms of a magnetic metallic element are placed at body-centered positions of unit cells, and an additive element that is a nonmagnetic metallic element that does not constitute the Heusler alloy. At least one of the pinned layer and the free layer includes a region in which the concentration of the additive element increases as the distance from the nonmagnetic conductive layer decreases, the region being adjacent to the nonmagnetic conductive layer.

    摘要: A plasmon generator has an outer surface including a plasmon exciting part, and has a near-field light generating part located in a medium facing surface. The plasmon exciting part faces an evanescent light generating surface of a waveguide's core with a predetermined distance therebetween. The outer surface of the plasmon generator further includes first and second inclined surfaces that are each connected to the plasmon exciting part. The first and second inclined surfaces increase in distance from each other with increasing distance from the plasmon exciting part. The plasmon generator includes a shape changing portion where the angle of inclination of each of the first and second inclined surfaces with respect to the evanescent light generating surface increases continuously with decreasing distance to the medium facing surface.
