Abstract: The proposed magnetic storage apparatus has the following features. The frequency at which data is recorded is selected to be 45 MHz. The thickness, resistivity and relative permeability of the magnetic film of which the magnetic poles of the magnetic head used in the apparatus are made are designed considering the eddy current loss. Also, the relation of .mu.d.sup.2 /.rho..ltoreq.500 is satisfied where d (.mu.m) is the thickness of the magnetic film of which the magnetic poles of the magnetic head are made, .rho. (.mu..OMEGA.-cm) is the resistivity, and .mu. is the relative permeability in a low-frequency range. Under these conditions, the amount of attenuation of recording magnetic field is reduced to 10% or below, and problems of writing blur and overwrite value variation which occur as the recording frequency changes can be solved. Moreover, the media data rate is 15 megabytes per sec., and the areal data-recording density is 500 megabits per square inch or more.

Abstract: The magnetoresistance effect element is of a multilayered structure having at least magnetic layers and an intermediate layer of an insulating material, a semiconductor or an antiferromagnetic material against the magnetic layers, and the magnetoresistance effect element has terminals formed at least on the opposite magnetic layers, respectively, so that a current flows in the intermediate layer. The film surfaces of all the magnetic layers constituting the magnetoresistance effect element are opposed substantially at right angles to the recording surface of a magnetic recording medium. Therefore, the area of the magnetic layers facing the recording surface of the magnetic recording medium can be extremely reduced, and thus the magnetic field from a very narrow region of the high-denisity recorded magnetic recording medium can be detected by the current which has a tunneling characteristic and passes through the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A film 12 with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and a protective film 13 are formed over a single-crystal substrate 11. This substrate is made of either a single crystal having a hexagonal crystal structure and a plane (0001) in parallel with the substrate plane or a single crystal having a cubic crystal structure and a plane (111) in parallel with the substrate plane, and the film is epitaxially grown such that its easy axis of magnetization is perpendicular to the substrate plane. As a result, the film can have its perpendicular orientation and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy improved to effect a perpendicular magnetic recording of high density thereby to provide the perpendicular magnetic recording media, of which the film has a remarkably enhanced orientation.
