摘要: A magnetoresistive effect element includes a magnetization fixed layer, a magnetization free layer, and a non-magnetic spacer layer that is stacked between the magnetization fixed layer and the magnetization free layer. The magnetization free layer includes a first free layer and a second free layer that are formed of a ferromagnetic material, and a magnetic coupling layer that is stacked between the first free layer and the second free layer. The first free layer and the second free layer are magnetically coupled to each other by exchange coupling via the magnetic coupling layer such that magnetization directions of the first free layer and the second free layer are antiparallel to each other. The magnetic coupling layer is a non-magnetic layer that includes Ir and at least one of the following elements: Fe, Co and Ni.
