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.

A magnetic device includes a first ferromagnetic layer in which magnetic layers and one or more nonmagnetic layers are alternately stacked, a second ferromagnetic layer having magnetization substantially fixed to a second direction, a third ferromagnetic layer provided between the first and second ferromagnetic layers and having a variable direction of magnetization, and a couple of electrodes configured to provide write current between the first and second ferromagnetic layers so that the direction of magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer is determined depending on a direction of the current.

Two or more layers of the magnetic layers are ferromagnetically coupled via the nonmagnetic layers. The ferromagnetic coupling has a strength such that a parallel magnetic alignment of the magnetic layers is maintained when the write current is passed.
