    摘要: A magnetic memory element includes a laminated construction of a first electrode, a first pinned layer, a first intermediate layer, a memory layer, a second intermediate layer, a second pinned layer and a second electrode, and a third electrode coupled to the first intermediate layer and not directly coupled to the memory layer. The magnetization directions of the first pinned layer, the second pinned layer, and the memory layer are parallel or antiparallel to each other. The magnetization direction of the memory layer takes a first direction when the current is passed with a first polarity so that the current flowing through the first pinned layer exceeds a first threshold. The magnetization direction of the memory layer takes a second direction when the current is passed with a second polarity so that the current flowing through the first pinned layer exceeds a second threshold.

    摘要: A magnetic recording device includes: a laminated body including: a first ferromagnetic layer with a magnetization substantially fixed in a first direction; a second ferromagnetic layer with a variable magnetization direction; a first nonmagnetic layer disposed between the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer; and a third ferromagnetic layer with a variable magnetization direction. The magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer is determinable in response to the orientation of a current, by allowing electrons spin-polarized by passing a current in a direction generally perpendicular to the film plane of the layers of the laminated body to act on the second ferromagnetic layer, and by allowing a magnetic field generated by precession of the magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer to act on the second ferromagnetic layer.
