Abstract
Abstract A ferromagnetic material comprising an iron alloy which contains 2 to 12% by weight of silicon and 5 to 25% by weight of at least one of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, iridium, platinum, gold and silver, exhibits a high saturation flux density and good corrosion resistance. Excellent magnetic characteristics are obtained in a multilayered film which is obtained by alternatingly laminating the above ferromagnetic material and a spacer layer composed of other material. Further, a markedly increased recording density is exhibited by a magnetic head for perpendicular magnetic recording, when the end of the main pole is composed of the ferromagnetic material.
