According to one embodiment, a recording head for perpendicular recording, includes a main pole configured to apply a recording magnetic field to a recording layer of a recording medium, a return pole opposed to the main pole with a write gap therebetween and configured to form a magnetic circuit in conjunction with the main pole, a junction formed of a nonmagnetic body in which soft magnetic bodies are dispersed and configured to physically connect the main and return poles to each other, a coil configured to excite the magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit, a spin-torque oscillator arranged between the return pole and an end portion of the main pole and configured to produce a high-frequency magnetic field, and a current source configured to supply a current to the spin-torque oscillator through the return and main poles. |
