Abstract:
It is made possible to provide a spin-torque oscillator that has a high Q value and a high output. A spin-torque oscillator includes: an oscillating field generating unit configured to generate an oscillating field; and a magnetoresistive element including a magnetoresistive effect film including a first magnetization pinned layer of which a magnetization direction is pinned, a first magnetization free layer of which a magnetization direction oscillates with the oscillating field, and a first spacer layer interposed between the first magnetization pinned layer and the first magnetization free layer.
