    Abstract: A magnetic memory device may include a magnetic track that extends in a first direction. The magnetic track may include a lower magnetic layer that extends in the first direction, an upper magnetic layer that extends in the first direction on the lower magnetic layer, a spacer layer that extends in the first direction between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic pattern that penetrates the upper magnetic layer and is on the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first junction surface that is in contact with a first portion of the upper magnetic layer, and a second junction surface that is in contact with a second portion of the upper magnetic layer. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer.

    Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a conductive line that extends in a first direction, and a magnetic track line that extends in the first direction on a top surface of the conductive line. The conductive line may include a first region having a first width in a second direction, and a second region having a second width in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are parallel to the top surface of the conductive line and are perpendicular to each other. The second width may be greater than the first width. The magnetic track line includes first domains arranged in the first direction on the first region of the conductive line, and second domains arranged in the first direction on the second region of the conductive line. A size of each of the second domains may be less than a size of each of the first domains.

    Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a magnetic track extending in a first direction. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer on the lower magnetic layer, a non-magnetic pattern on the lower magnetic layer and at a side of the upper magnetic layer, and a spacer layer between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer and extending between the lower magnetic layer and the non-magnetic pattern. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A junction surface between the non-magnetic pattern and the upper magnetic layer is inclined with respect to a reference surface perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface.

    Abstract: A method of operating a magnetic memory device includes: (i) applying a first current to a free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction structure, which includes a magnetic translation unit (MTU) extending between a first magnetic pad and a second magnetic pad, and a tunnel barrier layer and a pinned layer stacked on the MTU, so that a multi-domain is established within the MTU, (ii) applying a magnetic field to the free layer so that the magnetization direction of the MTU switches to become anti-parallel to the magnetization directions of the first magnetic pad and the second magnetic pad, (iii) applying a second current to the free layer so that a portion of the multi-domain penetrates into the first magnetic pad, and (iv) applying another magnetic field to the free layer so that the magnetization direction of the first magnetic pad switches.
