    摘要: The present invention provides a high density magnetic recording apparatus capable of performing a magnetic write to a magnetic memory cell therein by directly applying current into the memory cell without using external magnetic field; and performing a record read from the cell structure. To reduce the current density required for magnetization reversal by spin injection, the magnetic recording medium is irradiated with laser light so as to heat a magnetic memory cell to a temperature higher than the room temperature but lower than the Curie temperature. While the coercivity of the magnetic recording medium is effectively lowered, magnetic write operation is performed by applying external current into the magnetic memory cell.
