A ferromagnetic tunnel junction is disclosed. The ferromagnetic tunnel junction includes a pinned magnetic layer, a tunnel insulating film formed on the pinned magnetic layer, and a free magnetic multilayer body formed on the tunnel insulating film. The free magnetic multilayer body includes a first free magnetic layer, a diffusion barrier layer, and a second free magnetic layer stacked in this order on the tunnel insulating film. The first free magnetic layer and the second free magnetic layer are ferromagnetically coupled with each other. The diffusion barrier layer inhibits the additive element contained in the first free magnetic layer from diffusing into the second free magnetic layer.
