    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic element includes first and second conductive layers, an intermediate interconnection, and first and second stacked units. The intermediate interconnection is provided between the conductive layers. The first stacked unit is provided between the first conductive layer and the interconnection, and includes first and second ferromagnetic layer and a first nonmagnetic layer provided between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The second stacked unit is provided between the second conductive layer and the interconnection, and includes third and fourth ferromagnetic layers and a second nonmagnetic layer provided between the third and fourth ferromagnetic layers. A magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer is determined by causing a spin-polarized electron and a magnetic field to act on the second ferromagnetic layer.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic recording element includes a stacked body. The stacked body includes a first and a second stacked unit. The first stacked unit includes first and second ferromagnetic layers and a first nonmagnetic layer. The first nonmagnetic layer is provided between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The second stacked unit is stacked with the first stacked unit and includes third and fourth ferromagnetic layers and a second nonmagnetic layer. The fourth ferromagnetic layer is stacked with the third ferromagnetic layer. The second nonmagnetic layer is provided between the third and fourth ferromagnetic layers. An outer edge of the fourth ferromagnetic layer includes a portion outside an outer edge of the first stacked unit in a plane. A magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer is determined by causing a spin-polarized electron and a rotating magnetic field to act on the second ferromagnetic layer.

    摘要: A magnetic memory according to an embodiment includes: at least one memory cell comprising a magnetoresistive element as a memory element, and first and second electrodes that energize the magnetoresistive element. The magnetoresistive element includes: a first magnetic layer having a variable magnetization direction perpendicular to a film plane; a tunnel barrier layer on the first magnetic layer; and a second magnetic layer on the tunnel barrier layer, and having a fixed magnetization direction perpendicular to the film plane. The first magnetic layer including: a first region; and a second region outside the first region so as to surround the first region, and having a smaller perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy than that of the first region. The second magnetic layer including: a third region; and a fourth region outside the third region, and having a smaller perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy than that of the third region.
