Abstract

A CoPt-oxide-based in-plane magnetized film having a magnetic coercive force of 2.00 kOe or more and remanent magnetization per unit area Mrt of 2.00 memu/cmor more. The in-plane magnetized film for use as a hard bias layer of a magnetoresistive element contains metal Co, metal Pt, and an oxide. The in-plane magnetized film contains the metal Co in an amount of 55 at % or more and less than 95 at % and the metal Pt in an amount of more than 5 at % and 45 at % or less relative to a total of metal components of the in-plane magnetized film, and contains the oxide in an amount of 10 vol % or more and 42 vol % or less relative to a whole amount of the in-plane magnetized film. The in-plane magnetized film has a thickness of 20 nm or more and 80 nm or less.
