ABSTRACT:
A pair of domain control layers are disposed on both sides of the track width direction of the MR film so as to be separated from each other such that the MR film is held therebetween, and apply a longitudinal magnetic field to the MR film (free layer). The MR film is flanked by the domain control layers, each including a layer structure constituted by a base layer, a ferromagnetic layer, and a hard magnetic layer. The base layer causes the hard magnetic layer to have a magnetization direction aligning with an in-plane direction, so as to enhance the coercive force of the hard magnetic layer.
