A magnetic element is disclosed that has a composite free layer with a FM1/moment diluting/FM2 configuration wherein FM1 and FM2 are magnetic layers made of one or more of Co, Fe, Ni, and B and the moment diluting layer is used to reduce the perpendicular demagnetizing field. As a result, lower resistance x area product and higher thermal stability are realized when perpendicular surface anisotropy dominates shape anisotropy to give a magnetization perpendicular to the planes of the FM1, FM2 layers. The moment diluting layer may be a non-magnetic metal like Ta or a CoFe alloy with a doped non-magnetic metal. A perpendicular Hk enhancing layer interfaces with the FM2 layer and may be an oxide to increase the perpendicular anisotropy field in the FM2 layer. The magnetic element may be part of a spintronic device or serve as a propagation medium in a domain wall motion device.

In a conventional type magnetic head that performs microwave assisted recording, since a difference in a demagnetizing field between an end and the center of a field generation layer (FGL) grows larger when saturation magnetization of the FGL grows larger, the FGL that generates a microwave is not oscillated in a state of a single domain. Then, a spin-torque oscillator according to the present invention used for a magnetic head for microwave assisted recording is provided with at least one fixed layer, one non-magnetic intermediate layer and one alternating-current magnetic field generation layer respectively and is provided with a structure where saturation magnetization at ends of a film except an end in a direction from an air bearing surface to a surface opposite to it is made smaller than saturation magnetization in the center of the film of the alternating-current magnetic field generation layer.

In a spin-torque oscillator, a first ferromagnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer are stacked. A pair of electrodes perpendicularly applies a current onto each plane of the first ferromagnetic layer, the non-magnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer. The current induces a precession of a magnetization of at least one of the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer. The at least one is formed by an in-plane magnetization film having a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. A magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field to control a direction of the magnetization so that a non-linearity frequency shift of the precession by the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy cancels a non-linearity frequency shift of the precession by a demagnetizing field on the in-plane magnetization film.
