    摘要: A spin valve film has a lamination structure of a pinned layer, a non-magnetic intermediate layer and a free layer. The pinned layer is made of ferromagnetic material and has a fixed magnetization direction. The non-magnetic intermediate layer is made of non-magnetic conductive material. The free layer is made of ferromagnetic material and changes a magnetization direction by external magnetic field. Electrodes let current flow through the spin valve film in a lamination direction. At least one of the pinned layer and the free layer includes a lamination portion of a first layer and a second layer stacked alternately. The first layer has a composition ratio of elements presenting ferromagnetism higher than that in the second layer. The second layer has a composition ratio of elements presenting non-magnetism higher than that in the first layer. The lamination portion includes at least two first layers and at least one second layer.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive effect element of a CPP type includes a fixed magnetization layer, a non-magnetic layer and a free magnetization layer formed of CoFeAl. The CoFeAl has a composition falling within a range defined by straight lines connecting points A, B, C, D, E, F and A, in that order, in a ternary composition diagram. The point A is (55, 10, 35), the point B is (50, 15, 35), the point C is (50, 20, 30), the point D is (55, 25, 20), the point E is (60, 25, 15), and the point F is (70, 15, 15), where coordinates of the composition of each point is represented by (Co content, Fe content, Al content). Each content is expressed by atomic percent.

    摘要: A current perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) structure spin valve magnetoresistive (MR) transducer includes an insulating layer. A pinned or free ferromagnetic layer serves to space or isolate the insulating layer from a non-magnetic spacer layer interposed between the pinned and free ferromagnetic layers. The sensing current is allowed to penetrate through the insulating layer. Fine pin-holes generally formed in the insulating layer are supposed to enable migration of electrons through the insulating layer. Similar to the situation in which the sensing current is allowed to flow through a reduced sectional area, a larger variation can be obtained in response to the inversion of the magnetization in the free ferromagnetic layer. The spin valve MR transducer is expected to greatly contribute to realization of a still higher recording density. Moreover, the spin valve MR transducer is also expected to exhibit an electric resistance approximately equal to a tenth part of that of a well-known tunnel junction magnetoresistive (TMR) element. Accordingly, a thermal noise can significantly be suppressed in the spin valve MR transducer as compared with the TMR element.
