Abstract: A memory element includes a layered structure. The layered structure includes a memory layer, a magnetization-fixed layer, and an intermediate layer. The memory layer has magnetization perpendicular to a film face in which a direction of the magnetization is changed depending on information, and the direction of the magnetization is changed by applying a current in a lamination direction of the layered structure to record the information in the memory layer. The magnetization-fixed layer has magnetization perpendicular to a film face that becomes a base of the information stored in the memory layer, and has a laminated ferri-pinned structure including at least two ferromagnetic layers and a non-magnetic layer. The non-magnetic layer includes Cr. The intermediate layer is formed of a non-magnetic material and is provided between the memory layer and the magnetization-fixed layer.

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.
