Magnetic thin film having high spin polarizability and a magnetoresistance effect device and a magnetic device using the same, provided with a substrate (2) and Co2MGa1-xAlx thin film (3) formed on the substrate (2), the Co2MGa1-xAlx thin film (3) has a L21 or B2 single phase structure, M of the thin film is either one or two or more of Ti, V, Mo, W, Cr, Mn, and Fe, an average valence electron concentration Z in M is 5.5<=Z<=7.5, and 0<=x<=0.7, shows ferromagnetism at room temperature, and can attain high spin polarizability. A buffer layer (4) may be inserted between the substrate (2) and the Co2FexCr1-xAl thin film (3). The tunnel magnetoresistance effect device and the giant magnetoresistance effect device using this magnetic thin film can attain large TMR and GMR at room temperature under the low magnetic field.
