Abstract:
A magnetoresistance effect type magnetic head comprising:a magnetoresistance effect element formed as an approximately rectangular thin film element having a first edge positioned in the vicinity of a magnetic recording track, a second edge opposing to said first edge, and third and fourth edges in the width direction of said magnetic recording track; a pair of hard magnetic films each connected to said third and said fourth edges of said magnetoresistance effect element, for a horizontal bias; and a pair of electrode films each connected electrically to said first and said second edges of said magnetoresistance effect element,wherein said hard magnetic film is formed from a hard magnetic material having a specific resistance of 0.1 .OMEGA.cm or above: and said hard magnetic film is made from a ferrite mateiral expressed by a general formula Mo--Fe.sub.2 Q.sub.3 wherein M represents a di-valent metal.
