Abstract
A magnetoresistive head used for reading information signals from a magnetic recording medium using a spin valve magnetoresistance effect, comprises a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer both are separated by a first nonmagnetic metal layer, a hard magnetic layer formed so as to contact to the second ferromagnetic layer, and a third ferromagnetic layer formed on the hard magnetic layer via a second nonmagnetic metal layer for shutting off exchange coupling and coupled to the second ferromagnetic layer and the hard magnetic layer by static magnetic combination.
