Abstract: A magneto-optical memory interface includes: a memory cell structure having multiple allocated magnetic recording cells, a selection means configured to select an individual or a predetermined number of the multiple allocated magnetic recording cells of the memory structure, and configured for an electronic signal to be applicable thereto; and a light irradiation part configured to irradiate the predetermined number of the multiple allocated magnetic memory cells with an optical signal, wherein each of the magnetic recording cells is a magnetic recording cell whose sensitivity to changes in a magnetization state thereof increases in response to an irradiation light from the light irradiation part, and each of the magnetic recording cells is a magnetic recording cell whose magnetization state changes in response to an applied electrical signal resulting from selection by the selection means and the irradiation light from the light irradiation part.

Abstract: A rectifying device includes: a one-dimensional channel (18) formed with a semiconductor, electrons traveling through the one-dimensional channel; an electrode (26) that applies an effective magnetic field generated from a spin orbit interaction to the electrons traveling through the one-dimensional channel by applying an electric field to the one-dimensional channel, the effective magnetic field being in a direction intersectional to the direction in which the electrons are traveling; and an external magnetic field generating unit (38) that generates an external magnetic field in the one-dimensional channel.
