Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a magneto-resistance effect element with high sensitivity by specifying a composition and the shape ratio of a magnetic substance. CONSTITUTION:The nickel iron alloy consisting of 83-85wt% of nickel and the balance iron is used as a magnetism detection section to be located nearly in parallel with a magnetic tape face and the magneto-resistance effect element is constituted by the thin film pattern of the magnetic substance where the ratio of the thickness (t), the pattern width W and the pattern length (l) is selected as t:W:l=1:(400-2,200):(7,500-10,000). Thus, the high sensitivity is obtained so that an electric resistance has a remarkable change even with a several oersted of external magnetic field.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the external magnetic field applied to the magnetoresistive element is zero, the rate of change in the electrical resistance value of the magnetic detection section 1 is made large;
Alternatively, a strip 2a made of a conductive material is provided in the magnetic detection section 1 made of a thin film of a magnetic material having a magnetoresistive effect in a magnetoresistive element such as the m'A resistance effect element shown in FIG.
