A magnetoresistive head comprising a magnetoresistive film having electric resistance varying with a magnetic field, a pair of electrodes for causing a current to flow into the magnetoresistive film, and a soft magnetic film for applying a transverse biasing field to the magnetoresistive film, the soft magnetic film containing at least one material of iron, cobalt, and nickel, and at least one compound of zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide, titanium oxide, beryllium oxide, magnesium oxide, a rare earth oxygen compound, zirconium nitride, hafnium nitride, aluminum nitride, titanium nitride, beryllium nitride, magnesium nitride, silicon nitride, and a rare earth nitrogen compound. The electric resistance of the soft magnetic film is raised by adding a compound thereto and current diverted from the magnetoresistive film to the soft magnetic film decreases, so that the reproducing voltage of the magnetoresistive head rises.

A magnetic laminated film used for a magnetic transducer is constructed in such a way that a ferromagnetic film as a ferromagnetic body is made of, for example, a Ni--Fe alloy film, formed on a substrate made of, for example, glass, and an antiferromagnetic film as an antiferromagnetic body having crystal structure of body-centered cubic lattice, for example, made of a Cr alloy film is laminated on the top layer. Further, a magnetic transducer using the magnetic laminated film is applied to a magnetic head in a magnetic recording device in accordance with the present invention.

A magnetic disc apparatus is disclosed, in which a magneto-resistance effect film converts a magnetic signal into an electrical signal by use of the magneto-resistance effect, a pair of electrodes supplies a signal detection current to the magneto-resistance effect film, and a magnetic domain control layer controls the magnetic domain of the magneto-resistance effect film. The magneto-resistance effect film, the electrodes and the magnetic domain control layer constitute a magnetic head of magneto-resistance effect type. An isolation film is formed in a magneto-sensitive portion of the magneto-resistance effect film between the magneto-resistance effect film and the magnetic domain control layer to break the magnetic coupling between the magneto-resistance effect film and the magnetic domain control layer.
摘要:
A magnetoresistive head has a substrate (1) and, on the substrate, a magnetoresistive film (40) for converting a magnetic signal into an electric signal by using magnetoresistance effects and a pair of electrodes (60) for causing a signal detection current to flow through the magnetoresistive film. A pair of first domain wall suppressing layers (30) are arranged at opposite end portions of the magnetoresistive film, respectively, to apply a longitudinal magnetic bias to the magnetoresistive film. A second domain wall suppressing layer (45) is also provided for applying a longitudinal magnetic bias, which is weaker compared with the longitudinal magnetic bias applied by the first domain wall suppressing layers, to the magnetoresistive film (40).

A tunnel junction MR head can be easily manufactured and arranged as follow. A first tunnel junction is formed by a magnetization free layer, a first magnetization pinned layer and a thin insulated layer formed between the both layers. A second tunnel junction is formed by the magnetization free layer, a second magnetization pinned layer and an insulated layer. The first and second tunnel junctions are connected to both ends of the magnetization free layer through the magnetization free layer. A detection current flowing from a first electrode connected to the first tunnel junction is passed to a second electrode through the first tunnel junction, the magnetization free layer and the second tunnel junction.
