The magnetic recording layer 10 has: a first region 10-1; a second region 10-2; and a magnetization switching region 10-3 connecting between the first region 10-1 and the second region 10-2. The first region 10-1 is magnetically coupled to the magnetic coupling layer 20 and its magnetization direction is fixed in a first direction by the magnetic coupling layer 20. The second region 10-2 is not magnetically coupled to the magnetic coupling layer 20 and its magnetization direction is a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.
