Abstract

There is provided a magnetoresistance effect element comprising a substrate and at least two magnetic thin layers which are laminated with interposing a non-magnetic thin layer therebetween on said substrate, wherein adjacent magnetic thin layers through the non-magnetic thin layer have different coercive forces, characterized in that a metal thin film is provided in an interface between at least one of the magnetic layers and the non-magnetic layer which is adjacent thereto, and the metal thin film is made of a substance which is different from that of the adjacent non-magnetic layer.
