Abstract

An example magnetic head includes a recording pole to generate a recording magnetic field, a spin torque oscillator formed in the vicinity of the recording magnetic pole and a hard bias film provided at both end portions of a bias layer and an oscillation layer of spin torque oscillator. The hard bias film is configured to apply a magnetic field to the bias layer and the oscillation layer.
