Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a magnetoresistance effect element which includes a reference layer having three or more magnetic layers and which improves a thermal stability factor Δ by decreasing a write error rate using an element structure that enables a wide margin to be secured between a current at which magnetization of the reference layer is reversed and a writing current Ic of a recording layer and by reducing an effect of a stray magnetic field from the reference layer. The magnetoresistance effect element includes: a first recording layer (A); a first non-magnetic layer (); and a first reference layer (B), wherein the first reference layer (B) including n-number of a plurality of magnetic layers () and (n−1)−number of a plurality of non-magnetic insertion layers ((n−1)) adjacently sandwiched by each of the plurality of magnetic layers, where n≥3.
