An exchange-coupling film incorporates an antiferromagnetic layer and a pinned layer. The pinned layer includes a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer, a third ferromagnetic layer, a nonmagnetic middle layer, and a fourth ferromagnetic layer that are disposed in this order, the first ferromagnetic layer being closest to the antiferromagnetic layer. The first ferromagnetic layer is made of a ferromagnetic material and has a face-centered cubic structure. The second ferromagnetic layer is made of only iron or an alloy containing x atomic % cobalt and (100−x) atomic % iron, wherein x is greater than zero and smaller than or equal to 60. The third ferromagnetic layer is made of an alloy containing y atomic % cobalt and (100−y) atomic % iron, wherein y is within a range of 65 to 80 inclusive. The antiferromagnetic layer and the first ferromagnetic layer are exchange-coupled to each other. The third and fourth ferromagnetic layers are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other.
