A magnetoresistive element which records information by supplying spin polarized electrons to a magnetic material, includes a first pinned layer which is made of a magnetic material and has a first magnetization directed in a direction perpendicular to a film surface, a free layer which is made of a magnetic material and has a second magnetization directed in the direction perpendicular to the film surface, the direction of the second magnetization reversing by {HEAD ~ the spin polarized electrons}, and a first nonmagnetic layer which is provided between the first pinned layer and {TAIL ~ the free layer}
