Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic head and a magnetic recording device capable of improving
recording density. According to the embodiment, the magnetic head includes a first and second
magnetic poles and a laminate. The laminate includes a first
magnetic layer, a second
magnetic layer disposed between the second magnetic pole and the first
magnetic layer, a third magnetic layer disposed between the second magnetic pole and the second magnetic layer, a fourth magnetic layer disposed between the second magnetic pole and the third magnetic layer, a first non-magnetic layer disposed between the first magnetic layer and the first magnetic pole, a second non-magnetic layer disposed between the second magnetic layer and the first magnetic layer, a third non-magnetic layer disposed between the third magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer, a fourth non-magnetic layer disposed between the fourth magnetic layer and the third magnetic layer, and a fifth non-magnetic layer disposed between the second magnetic pole and the fourth magnetic layer. The second non-magnetic layer is connected to the second and first magnetic
layers. The third non-magnetic layer is connected to the third and second magnetic
layers. The fourth non-magnetic layer is connected to the fourth and third magnetic
layers.
