Abstract
A magnetic sensor element includes a pinned layer, a first non-magnetic layer, a first magnetic layer, and a free layer. The pinned layer has a fixed magnetization direction. The first non-magnetic layer is laminated on the pinned layer. The first magnetic layer holds the first non-magnetic layer with the pinned layer. The free layer is disposed along a lamination direction in which the first non-magnetic layer is laminated on the pinned layer. Each of the first magnetic layer and the free layer has a magnetization direction more easily changed by an external magnetic field than that of the pinned layer. The pinned layer and the first magnetic layer are coupled by indirect exchange interaction.
