ABSTRACT:
An MR element includes a free layer having a direction of magnetization that changes in response to an external magnetic field, a pinned layer having a fixed direction of magnetization, and a spacer layer disposed between these layers. The spacer layer includes a first region, a second region and a third region that are each in the form of a layer and that are arranged in a direction intersecting the plane of each of the foregoing layers. The second region is sandwiched between the first region and the third region. The first region and the third region are each composed of an oxide semiconductor, and the second region includes at least a nonmagnetic conductor phase.
