Abstract: A spin current magnetoresistance effect element includes a magnetoresistance effect element, a spin-orbit torque wiring that extends in a first direction intersecting a lamination direction of the magnetoresistance effect element and is positioned on a side of the magnetoresistance effect element with the second ferromagnetic metal layer, and a control unit configured to control a direction of a current during reading. The control unit is connected to at least one of a first and second point, which are positions with the magnetoresistance effect element interposed therebetween in the first direction in the spin-orbit torque wiring, and a third point on a side of the magnetoresistance effect element with the first ferromagnetic layer. The control unit shunts a read current during reading from the third point toward the first point and the second point or merges the read current toward the third point from the first point and the second point.

Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods, devices, and systems for operating magnetic memory devices. In one aspect, a magnetic memory device includes: (1) a core; (2) a plurality of layers that surround the core in succession; (3) a first input terminal coupled to the core and configured to receive a first current, where: (a) the first current flows radially from the core through the plurality of layers; and (b) the radial flow of the first current imparts a torque on, at least, a magnetization of an inner layer of the plurality of layers; and (4) a second input terminal coupled to the core and configured to receive a second current, where: (i) the second current imparts a Spin Hall Effect (SHE) around a perimeter of the core; and (ii) the SHE contributes to the torque imparted on the magnetization of the inner layer by the first current.

Abstract: Provided is a magnetic element capable of generating one skyrmion and erasing the one skyrmion. The magnetic element includes a magnet shaped like a substantially rectangular flat plate, an upstream electrode connected to the magnet in a width Wm direction of the magnet and made of a non-magnetic metal, a downstream electrode connected to the magnet in the width Wm direction to oppose the upstream electrode and made of a non-magnetic metal, and a skyrmion sensor configured to detect the skyrmion. Here, a width Wm of the substantially rectangular magnet is such that 3·λ>Wm≥λ, where λ denotes a diameter of the skyrmion, a length Hm of the substantially rectangular magnet is such that 2·λ>Hm≥λ, and the magnet has a notch structure at the edge between the upstream electrode and the downstream electrode.
