    摘要: Provided is a storage device that includes a magnetization fixed layer, an intermediate layer, and a storage layer. The magnetization fixed layer has magnetization in an orientation perpendicular to a film surface and a constant magnetization direction. The intermediate layer includes a non-magnetic body and is disposed on the magnetization fixed layer. The storage layer includes an outer circumferential portion and a center portion. The storage layer is disposed to face the magnetization fixed layer with the intermediate layer sandwiched therebetween, and is configured to have a variable magnetization direction. The outer circumferential portion has magnetization in an orientation perpendicular to a film surface, the center portion is formed by being surrounded by the outer circumferential portion and having magnetization inclined from the orientation perpendicular to the film surface.

    摘要: A magnetic storage element includes a first magnetic layer having a magnetization easy axis in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the first magnetic layer. A first non-magnetic layer is on the first magnetic layer. A second magnetic layer is on the first non-magnetic layer and has a fixed magnetization direction. A second non-magnetic layer is on the second magnetic layer. A third magnetic layer is on the second non-magnetic layer and has a fixed magnetization direction perpendicular to a surface of the third magnetic layer. A third non-magnetic layer is on the third magnetic layer. A storage layer on the third non-magnetic layer and having a variable magnetization direction with a magnetization easy axis in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the storage layer. Change in a magnetization direction of the first magnetic layer is easier than in the storage layer.

    摘要: There is disclosed an information storage element including a first layer including a ferromagnetic layer with a magnetization direction perpendicular to a film face; an insulation layer coupled to the first layer; and a second layer coupled to the insulation layer opposite the first layer, the second layer including a fixed magnetization so as to be capable of serving as a reference of the first layer. The first layer is capable of storing information according to a magnetization state of a magnetic material, and the magnetization state is configured to be changed by a spin injection. A magnitude of an effective diamagnetic field which the first layer receives is smaller than a saturated magnetization amount of the first layer.
