  • Publication number: 20160055892
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory element includes a first magnetic unit, a second magnetic unit, a third magnetic unit, a read/write unit, a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a first current source, the second current source. The third magnetic unit is connected to one end in the first direction of the first magnetic unit and one end in the first direction of the second magnetic unit. The read/write unit includes a nonmagnetic layer and a pinned layer. The nonmagnetic layer is connected to the third magnetic unit. The pinned layer is connected to the nonmagnetic layer. The first current source causes a current to flow between the third electrode and at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode. The second current source causes a current to flow between the first electrode and the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 9171888
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory device includes a magnetic unit, a switching part, and a reading part. The magnetic unit includes a magnetic wire, and first and second magnetic parts. The magnetic wire includes magnetic domains and has one end and one other end. The first magnetic part is connected with the one end and has a first magnetization. The second magnetic part is connected with the one end, and has a second magnetization. The switching part includes first and second switches. The first switch is connected with the first magnetic part and flows a first current between the first magnetic part and the magnetic wire. The second switch is connected with the second magnetic part and flows a second current between the second magnetic part and the magnetic wire. The reading part is configured to read a magnetization of the magnetic domains.
