To provide a magnetic recording device capable of improving
recording density.SOLUTION: A magnetic recording device 210 includes a magnetic head 110 and a
control unit 75. The magnetic head includes a first magnetic pole 31, a second magnetic pole 32, a magnetic element 20 provided between the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic pole, a first terminal T1 electrically connected to the first magnetic pole, a second terminal T2 electrically connected to the second magnetic pole, and a coil 30c. The
control unit is electrically connected to the first terminal, the second terminal, and the coil. One end of the magnetic element is electrically connected to the first magnetic pole. The other end of the magnetic element is electrically connected to the second magnetic pole. The
control unit can perform a recording operation. In the recording operation, the control unit supplies a recording current to the coil while applying an element
voltage of a first
voltage or more and a second
voltage or less between the first terminal and the second terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
