Summary:An in-plane magnetized film multilayer structure for use as a hard bias layer of a magnetoresistive effect element contains a plurality of in-plane magnetized films and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer. The nonmagnetic intermediate layer is disposed between the in-plane magnetized films, and the in-plane magnetized films adjacent across the nonmagnetic intermediate layer are coupled by a ferromagnetic coupling. Each of the in-plane magnetized films contains metal Co and metal Pt, and contains the metal Co in an amount of 45 at % or more and 80 at % or less and the metal Pt in an amount of 20 at % or more and 55 at % or less relative to a total of metal components of the each of the in-plane magnetized films. A total thickness of the plurality of in-plane magnetized films is 30 nm or more.
