    Abstract: A memory element includes a layered structure: a memory layer having a magnetization direction changed depending on information, the magnetization direction being changed by applying a current in a lamination direction of the layered structure to record the information in the memory layer, including a first ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization direction that is inclined from a direction perpendicular to a film face, a bonding layer laminated on the first ferromagnetic layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer laminated on the bonding layer and bonded to the first ferromagnetic layer via the bonding layer, having a magnetization direction that is inclined from the direction perpendicular to the film face, a magnetization-fixed layer having a fixed magnetization direction, an intermediate layer that is provided between the memory layer and the magnetization-fixed layer, and is contacted with the first ferromagnetic layer, and a cap layer that is contacted with the second ferromagnetic layer.

    Abstract: A storage element includes a layer structure, which includes a storage layer including magnetization perpendicular to the film surface, in which the magnetization direction is changed corresponding to information; a magnetization fixing layer including magnetization perpendicular to the film surface that becomes a reference for information stored on the storage layer; a tunnel barrier layer made from an oxide provided between the storage layer and the magnetization fixing layer; and a spin barrier layer made from an oxide provided contacting the surface of the opposite side of the storage layer to the surface contacting the tunnel barrier layer. A low resistance region is formed in a portion of the spin barrier layer formed with a predetermined set film thickness value and information storage on the storage layer is performed by changing the magnetization direction of the storage layer by current flowing in the stacking direction of the layer structure.
