1. A magnetic recording head comprising:

  • a main magnetic pole which generates a recording magnetic field; and

    a spin torque oscillator which generates a high frequency magnetic field, the spin torque oscillator comprising a pair of electrode layers and a multilayer film provided between the pair of electrode layers, the multilayer film comprising a first perpendicular free layer in which magnetization is rotatable, a second perpendicular free layer in which magnetization is rotatable, and a first spacer layer provided between the first perpendicular free layer and the second perpendicular free layer, each of the first perpendicular free layer and the second perpendicular free layer including a magnetic anisotropy axis in a direction perpendicular to a film plane of the spin torque oscillator, wherein an effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the first perpendicular free layer is smaller than an effective perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetic field of the second perpendicular free layer, and a current is applied from the first perpendicular free layer side to the second perpendicular free layer side through the pair of electrode layers.
