According to one embodiment, a magnetic head has a main magnetic pole, a write-shield constituting the main magnetic pole and a magnetic circuit, and a spin torque oscillation element provided between the main magnetic pole and the write-shield. The spin torque oscillation element is provided with a first oscillation layer, a nonmagnetic spin sink layer, a second oscillation layer, a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a spin injection layer provided in sequence from the write-shield side to the main magnetic pole side. The nonmagnetic spin sink layer is formed of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ru, Rh, Ta, W, Cr, Ir, Mo, Re, Nb, Pt, and Pd. |
