Abstract
According to an embodiment, a magnetic recording head includes a main magnetic pole and a spin torque oscillator. The spin torque oscillator includes a first perpendicular free layer, a second perpendicular free layer, and a first spacer layer, each of the first perpendicular free layer and the second perpendicular free layer including a magnetic anisotropy axis in a direction perpendicular to a film plane of the spin torque oscillator. An effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the first perpendicular free layer is smaller than an effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the second perpendicular free layer, and a current is applied from the first perpendicular free layer side to the second perpendicular free layer side.
