Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a magnetoresistive effect element having improved magnetoresistive effect. A magnetoresistive effect element MR includes a first ferromagnetic layer 4 as a fixed magnetization layer, a second ferromagnetic layer 6 as a free magnetization layer, and a nonmagnetic spacer layer 5 provided between the first ferromagnetic layer 4 and the second ferromagnetic layer 6. The nonmagnetic spacer layer 5 includes at least one of a first insertion layer 5A provided under the nonmagnetic spacer layer 5 and a second insertion layer 5C provided over the nonmagnetic spacer layer 5. The first insertion layer 5A and the second insertion layer 5C are made of Fe2TiSi.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnetoresistive effect element comprising: a first layer as a ferromagnetic layer being a fixed magnetization layer; a second layer as a ferromagnetic layer being a free magnetization layer; a nonmagnetic spacer layer provided between the first layer and the second layer, a third layer provided on a surface of the first layer, which is opposite to a surface of the first layer in contact with the nonmagnetic spacer layer; and a fourth layer provided on a surface of the second layer, which is opposite to a surface of the second layer in contact with the nonmagnetic spacer layer, wherein the third layer and the fourth layer are made of Fe 2 TiSi. 2. The magnetoresistive effect element according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of each of the third layer and the fourth layer is equal to or greater than 1 nm. 3. A magnetic head comprising: the magnetoresistive effect element according to claim 1 . 4. A sensor comprising: the magnetoresistive effect element according to claim 1 . 5. A high frequency filter comprising: the magnetoresistive effect element according to claim 1 . 6. An oscillation element comprising: the magnetoresistive effect element according to claim 1 .
