  • Patent number: 10998491
    Abstract: A magnetoresistance effect element is provided, which can, even in a region where the element size of the magnetoresistance effect element is small, implement stable record holding at higher temperatures, and moreover which has higher thermal stability. The magnetoresistance effect element has a configuration including reference layer (B1)/first non-magnetic layer (1)/first magnetic layer (21)/first non-magnetic insertion layer (31)/second magnetic layer (22). A magnetostatic coupling is established between the first magnetic layer (21) and the second magnetic layer (22) due to magnetostatic interaction becoming dominant.

  • Patent number: 10658572
    Abstract: A magnetoresistance effect element includes first and second magnetic layers having a perpendicular magnetization direction, and a first non-magnetic layer disposed adjacent to the first magnetic layer and on a side opposite to a side on which the second magnetic layer is disposed. An interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy exists at an interface between the first magnetic layer and the first non-magnetic layer, and the anisotropy causes the first magnetic layer to have a magnetization direction perpendicular to the surface of the layers. An atomic fraction of all magnetic elements to all magnetic and non-magnetic elements included in the second magnetic layer is smaller than that of the first magnetic layer.
