摘要： In a spin valve type element, an interface insertion layer (32, 34) of a material exhibiting large spin-dependent interface scattering is inserted in a location of a magnetically pinned layer (16) or a magnetically free layer (20) closer to a nonmagnetic intermediate layer (18). A nonmagnetic back layer (36) may be additionally inserted as an interface not in contact with the nonmagnetic intermediate layer to increase the output by making use of spin-dependent interface scattering along the interface between the pinned layer and the nonmagnetic back layer or between the free layer and the nonmagnetic back layer.

摘要： There is provided a magnetoresistance effect element capable of precisely defining the active region in a CPP type MR element and of effectively suppressing and eliminating the influence of a magnetic field due to current from an electrode, and a magnetic head and magnetic reproducing system using the same. The active region of the MR element is defined by the area of a portion through which a sense current flows. Moreover, the shape of the cross section of a pillar electrode or pillar non-magnetic material for defining the active region of the element is designed to extend along the flow of a magnetic flux so as to efficiently read only a signal from a track directly below the active region. When the magnetic field due to current from the pillar electrode can not be ignored, the magnetic flux from a recording medium asymmetrically enters yokes and the magnetization free layer of the MR element to some extent. In expectation of this, if the cross section of the pillar electrode is designed to be asymmetric so as to extend along the flow of the magnetic flux, the regenerative efficiency is improved.

摘要： A magnetoresistance effect element includes a magnetization fixed layer in which the direction of magnetization is substantially fixed to one direction, a magnetization free layer in which the direction of magnetization varies in response to an external magnetic field, and a non-magnetic intermediate layer formed between the magnetization fixed layer and the magnetization free layer. The magnetoresistance effect element has a resistance varying in response to a relative angle between the direction of magnetization in the magnetization fixed layer and the direction of magnetization in the magnetization free layer, the resistance being detected when a sense current is applied to the film planes of the magnetization fixed layer, the non-magnetic intermediate layer, and the magnetization free layer in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto. The film area of the non-magnetic intermediate layer is smaller than the film area of each of the magnetization fixed layer and the magnetization free layer, the magnetoresistance effect element has a single conductive part with a film area smaller than the film area of each of the magnetoresistance effect element, and the magnetoresistance effect element is configured such that the sense current flows only through the single conductive part.

摘要： There is provided a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers to be controlled, and a magnetic head and magnetic recording and/or reproducing system using the same. In a magnetoresistance effect element wherein a sense current is caused to flow in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the film, a resistance regulating layer is provided in at least one of a pinned layer, a free layer and an non-magnetic intermediate layer. The resistance regulating layer contains, as a principal component, an oxide, a nitride, a fluoride, a carbide or a boride. The resistance regulating layer may be a continuous film or may have pin holes. Thus, it is possible to provide a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers, while effectively utilizing the scattering effect depending on spin.
