CPP-type giant magnetoresistance elements, magnetic components and magnetic devices can exhibit giant magnetoresistance effects through spin-related currents in the vertical direction of the film surface, wherein the CPP-type giant magnetoresistance elements (10, 20, 50) have antiferromagnetic layers (9), laminated structure of ferromagnetic fixed layer (11, 11A), non-magnetic conductive layer (12) and ferromagnetic free layer (13, 13A), the first magnetic layer of ferromagnetic free layer (13, 13A) (14, 14A) and the second magnetic layer (16, 16A) are magnetically antiparallel coupled through a magnetic coupler (15, 15A), and the magnetization (17, 17') of the first magnetic layer (14, 14A) is connected to the first magnetic layer (14, 14A). 2 Magnetizations (18, 18A) of the magnetic layers (16, 16A) are different in magnitude. Up-spinning electrons (5) and down-spinning electrons (6) are spin-dependently scattered according to the magnetization directions of the ferromagnetic pinned layer (11, 11A) and the ferromagnetic free layer (13, 13A), and the CPP-GMR passes through the conduction channel (1 , 2, 3, 4) and increase. In addition, in the CPP type giant magnetoresistance element (30) with ferromagnetic pinned layer (11), nonmagnetic conductive layer (12) and ferromagnetic free layer (13A), between ferromagnetic pinned layer (11) and nonmagnetic Between the conductive layers (12) and/or on the surface of the ferromagnetic free layer (13A), a layer (21) formed of one or not less than two of ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, rhenium, and chromium is provided.
