    摘要: A magnetic control device including an antiferromagnetic layer, a magnetic layer placed in contact with one side of the antiferromagnetic layer, and an electrode placed in contact with another side of the antiferromagnetic layer, wherein the direction of the magnetization of the magnetic layer is controlled by voltage applied between the magnetic layer and the electrode. In particular, when an additional magnetic layer is further laminated on the magnetic layer placed in contact with the antiferromagnetic layer via a non-magnetic layer, the direction of the magnetization of the controlled magnetic layer can be detected as a change in the electric resistance. Since such a magnetic control device, in principle, responds to the electric field or magnetic field, it forms a magnetic component capable of detecting an electric signal or a magnetic signal. In this case, the direction of the magnetization basically is maintained until the next signal is detected, so that such a device also can form an apparatus. Thus, a magnetic control device capable of controlling the magnetization with voltage and magnetic component and a memory apparatus using the same are provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides a magnetic head having improved characteristics, using a magnetoresistive device in which current flows across the film plane such as a TMR device. In a first magnetic head of the present invention, when the area of a non-magnetic layer is defined as a device cross-section area, and the area of a yoke is defined as a yoke area, viewed along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate over which the yoke and the magnetoresistive device are formed, then the device cross-section area is not less than 30% of the yoke area, so that a resistance increase of the device cross-section area is suppressed. In a second magnetic head of the present invention, a magnetoresistive device is formed on a substrate, and a yoke is provided above a non-magnetic layer constituting the device. In a third magnetic head of the present invention, the free layer of the magnetoresistive device includes at least two magnetic films and at least one non-magnetic film that are laminated alternately, and the thickness of the non-magnetic layer is not less than 2 nm and not more than 10 nm, and magnetostatic coupling is dominant. In a fourth magnetic head of the present invention, a magnetic gap is provided adjacent to the magnetoresistive device and the magnetic films are coupled antiferromagnetically.

    摘要: A magnetoresistance element, wherein a first electric conductor is so formed as to contact almost the center of the surface opposite to a non-magnetic layer of a first ferromagnetic layer so formed as to sandwich, along with a second ferromagnetic layer, the non-magnetic layer, and an insulator so formed as to cover at least the side surface of the first ferromagnetic layer and the non-magnetic layer is formed so as to cover the peripheral edge of the surface of the first ferromagnetic layer, whereby it is possible to prevent a leakage current from flowing from the first electric conductor to a second electric conductor along the side surfaces of the first ferromagnetic layer, the non-magnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer, and to make uniform a bias current running from the first electric conductor to the second electric conductor to thereby restrict variations in magnetoresistance characteristics such as MR value and junction resistance.
