Abstract: A storage element includes a layer structure including a storage layer having a direction of magnetization which changes according to information, a magnetization fixed layer having a fixed direction of magnetization, and an intermediate layer disposed therebetween, which intermediate layer contains a nonmagnetic material. The magnetization fixed layer has at least two ferromagnetic layers having a direction of magnetization tilted from a direction perpendicular to a film surface, which are laminated and magnetically coupled interposing a coupling layer therebetween. This configuration may effectively prevent divergence of magnetization reversal time due to directions of magnetization of the storage layer and the magnetization fixed layer being substantially parallel or antiparallel, reduce write errors, and enable writing operation in a short time.

Abstract: A storage element includes a storage layer having a magnetization perpendicular to a layer surface and storing information according to a magnetization state of a magnetic material; a fixed magnetization layer having the magnetization as a reference of the information of the storage layer and perpendicular to the layer surface; an interlayer formed of a nonmagnetic material and interposed between the storage layer and the fixed magnetization layer; a coercive force enhancement layer adjacent to the storage layer, opposite to the interlayer, and formed of Cr, Ru, W, Si, or Mn; and a spin barrier layer formed of an oxide, adjacent to the coercive force enhancement layer, and opposite to the storage layer. The storage layer magnetization is reversed using spin torque magnetization reversal caused by a current in a lamination direction of a layer structure including the storage layer, the interlayer, and the fixed magnetization layer, thereby storing information.
