    摘要: There is provided a magnetoresistive element whose magnetization direction is stable in a direction perpendicular to the film surface and whose magnetoresistance ratio is controlled, as well as magnetic memory using such a magnetoresistive element. By having the material of a ferromagnetic layer forming the magnetoresistive element comprise a ferromagnetic material containing at least one type of 3d transition metal, or a Heusler alloy, to control the magnetoresistance ratio, and by controlling the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer on an atomic layer level, the magnetization direction is changed from being in-plane with the film surface to being perpendicular to the film surface.

    摘要: Provided are a magnetoresistance effect element with a stable magnetization direction perpendicular to film plane and a controlled magnetoresistance ratio, in which writing can be performed by magnetic domain wall motion, and a magnetic memory including the magnetoresistance effect element. The magnetoresistance ratio is controlled by forming a ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoresistance effect element from a ferromagnetic material including at least one type of 3d transition metal or a Heusler alloy. The magnetization direction is changed from a direction in the film plane to a direction perpendicular to the film plane by controlling the film thickness of the ferromagnetic layer on an atomic layer level.

    摘要: The present invention provides a current injection-type magnetic domain wall-motion device which requires no external magnetic field for reversing the magnetization direction of a ferromagnetic body and which has low power consumption. The current injection-type magnetic domain wall-motion device includes a microjunction structure including two magnetic bodies (a first magnetic body 1 and a second magnetic body 2) having magnetization directions antiparallel to each other and a third magnetic body 3 sandwiched therebetween. The magnetization direction of the device is controlled in such a manner that a pulse current (a current density of 104-107 A/cm2) is applied across junction interfaces present in the microjunction structure such that a magnetic domain wall is moved by the interaction between the magnetic domain wall and the current in the same direction as that of the current or in the direction opposite to that of the current.
