Magnetic film for a magnetic device, magnetic head for a hard disk drive, and solid-state device

Abstract

There is provided a magnetic material with a high saturation magnetization of 2.46 teslas or above. By using this magnetic material in a recording head, it is possible to record information with a higher density on a recording medium. The magnetic material can also be applied to various kinds of solid-state devices. The magnetic material is composed of an alloy film made of iron, cobalt, and palladium, wherein a mole percentage content of palladium is set equal to 0.7% or greater but less than 1.0%, and the magnetic material is formed by dry processing.
