An efficient spin polarizer in nonmagnetic semiconductors is provided. Previous spin injection devices suffered from very low efficiency (less than 35%) into semiconductors. An efficient spin polarizer is provided which is based on ferromagnetic-semiconductor heterostructures and ensures spin polarization of electrons in nonmagnetic semiconductors close to 100% near the ferromagnetic-semiconductor junctions at wide temperature intervals ranging from very low temperatures to room temperatures even in the case when spin polarization of electrons in the ferromagnetic layer is relatively low.

A magnetic switching device is provided, which has a configuration different from that of a conventional example and is capable of enhancing an energy conversion efficiency for changing the magnetized state of a magnetic substance. A magnetic memory using the magnetic switching device also is provided The magnetic switching device includes a magnetic layer, a transition layer magnetically coupled to the magnetic layer, and a carrier supplier including at least one selected from metal and a semiconductor. The transition layer and the carrier supplier are placed in such a manner that a voltage can be applied between the transition layer and the carrier supplier. The transition layer undergoes a non-ferromagnetism—ferromagnetism transition by the application of a voltage, and the magnetized state of the magnetic layer is changed by the transition of the transition layer.
