    摘要: A member having a first and a second magnetic layer are magnetostatically coupled and laminated and the first magnetic layer formed on a magneto-resistive element, for creating the exchange coupling on the magneto-resistive element and the first magnetic layer. The member is formed by sequentially laminating a first ferromagnetic layer magnetized in a sense along the direction of the longitudinal bias of the magneto-resistive element, non-magnetic layer and second ferromagnetic layer magnetized in a direction opposite to the magnetized direction of the first ferromagnetic layer, for example.

    摘要: A magnetoresistance sensor of this invention is designed to detect a magnetic field on the basis of a change in electric resistance of a magnetoresistance layer, and includes a substrate, the magnetoresistance layer, a magnetization stabilizing layer for stabilizing magnetization of the magnetoresistance layer, and an electrical conductive layer formed on the magnetoresistance layer or the magnetization stabilizing layer. The sensor is characterized in that the magnetoresistance layer and the magnetization stabilizing layer are stacked on each other such that the layers are magnetically coupled to each other at their two end regions with an exchange coupling force higher than that at the remaining region. With this arrangement, there is provided a magnetoresistance sensor having high sensitivity, which can apply a desired bias magnetic field to the MR layer while preventing the bias magnetic field from being disturbed by a magnetic field from a magnetic recording medium or the like.

    摘要: A GMR element part is formed of a laminated structure which comprises at least one pair of ferromagnetic layers and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer interposed between the pair of ferromagnetic layers. Signal magnetic field detecting ferromagnetic layers will be optionally disposed one each outside the pair of ferromagnetic layers. The GMR element part consists of a laminated structure which is provided with one pair of GMR ferromagnetic layers opposed to each other across a nonmagnetic intermediate layer or a laminated structure which is provided with one pair of GMR ferromagnetic layer opposed to each other across a nonmagnetic intermediate layer and at least one low-permeability ferromagnetic layer disposed there between through the medium of a nonmagnetic intermediate layer. The GMR element part functions as a read head for sensing the resistance which is varied when signal magnetic fields of mutual opposite directions are applied to the pair of GMR ferromagnetic layers and displaying a differential detection type output response. A granular type ferromagnetic intermediate layer will be used as the GMR element part.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive head includes an antiferromagnetic portion interposed between first and second spin-valve units. Sense current supply directions through the first and second spin-valve units are perpendicular to a head facing surface of a magnetic recording medium. The first spin-valve unit is formed of a first inner magnetic film, a first outer magnetic film and a nonmagnetic film interposed between and in direct physical contact with the first inner magnetic film and the first outer magnetic film. The second spin-valve unit is formed of a second inner magnetic film, a second outer magnetic film and a nonmagnetic film interposed between and in direct physical contact with the second inner magnetic film and the second outer magnetic film. The antiferromagnetic portion is formed of a first antiferromagnetic sublayer and a second antiferromagnetic sublayer laminated on the first antiferromagnetic sublayer. The first antiferromagnetic sublayer is in contact with the first inner magnetic film to apply a first exchange bias magnetic field to the first inner magnetic film in a direction perpendicular to the head facing surface of the magnetic recording medium. The second antiferromagnetic sublayer is in contact with the second inner magnetic film to apply a second exchange bias magnetic field to the second inner magnetic film in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic recording medium. The second exchange bias magnetic field has a polarity opposite to that of the first exchange bias magnetic field.
