Abstract
In the MR magnetic head of the present invention, its sensing element (2) comprises a plurality of superposed magnetic layers (4,5) having magnetoresistance effect in at least one of them and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer (3) sandwiched therebetween, and a sensing current (i) is fed to flow in the sensing element (2) in the same direction as a signal magnetic field applied to the element. Each of the magnetic layers (4,5) is so formed as to have an easy axis of magnetization substantially perpendicular to the signal magnetic field or to have an isotropic magnetic characteristic in the magneticfilm plane, thereby avoiding generation of Barkhausen noise with certainty.
