Abstract:
A magnetoresistive element according to an embodiment includes: a magnetoresistance effect film including: a first magnetic film; a second magnetic film; and an intermediate film of a nonmagnetic material disposed between the first magnetic film and the second magnetic film, at least one of the first magnetic film and the second magnetic film being formed of a material expressed as AxB1-x(65 at %≦x≦85 at %) where A is an alloy containing Co and at least one element selected from Fe and Mn, and B is an alloy containing Si or Ge, a Si concentration in the at least one of the first magnetic film and the second magnetic film decreasing and a Ge concentration increasing as a distance from the intermediate film increases.
