Abstract

A magnetic film of Fe-Si-Al alloy comprises a substrate and an Fe-Si-Al alloy film in which argon is entrapped. A thin-film laminated magnetic head comprises a pair of opposed substrates, and alternately laminated Fe-Si-Al alloy films entrapping argon therein and non-magnetic insulating films between the substrates. In the magnetic film and the head the substrates have a thermal expansion coefficient lower than that of the Fe-Si-Al alloy films and the amount of argon entrapped in the alloy films is controlled within the range of about 0.01 to about 0.3 wt. % so that internal stresses in the alloy films are substantially zeroed.
