To provide a magnetic recorder capable of improving the
recording density.SOLUTION: According to an embodiment, a magnetic recorder includes a magnetic head and a
control unit. The magnetic head includes: a first magnetic pole; a second magnetic pole; a magnetic element which is provided between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole; and a coil. The
control unit is electrically connected to the magnetic element and the coil. The
control unit enables recording operation. The control unit supplies a recording current to the coil while applying an element
voltage to the magnetic element in the recording operation. An alternating
magnetic field is generated from the magnetic element to which the element
voltage has been applied. Differential resistance of electric resistance of the magnetic element when the
voltage applied to the magnetic element while the recording current is supplied to the coil is changed turns into a first differential resistance peak when the applied voltage is a first voltage. The differential resistance turns into a second differential resistance peak when the applied voltage is a second voltage. The second voltage is higher than the first voltage. The element voltage is higher than the first voltage and less than the second voltage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
