    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 is a magnetic random access memory to which spin torque magnetization reversal is applied, the magnetic random access memory being thermal stable in a reading operation and also being capable of reducing a current in a wiring operation. A magnetoresistive effect element formed by sequentially stacking a fixed layer, a nonmagnetic barrier layer, and a recording layer is used as a memory element. The recording layer adopts a laminated ferrimagnetic structure. The magnetic memory satisfies the expression Ms2(t/w)>|Jex|>(2kBTΔ)/S, in which kB is a Boltzmann constant, T is an operating temperature of the magnetic memory, S is an area parallel to a film surface of the magnetoresistive effect element, t and Ms are respectively a film thickness and a saturated magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer having a smaller film thickness among two ferromagnetic layers which are constituent members of the laminated ferrimagnetic structure, w is a length of a short side of the recording layer, Δ is a thermal stability index of the magnetic memory, and Jex is exchange coupling energy acting between the two ferromagnetic layers of the recording layer.
