Abstract: A magneto-resistance effect element of the present invention allows detection of a micro-bit signal with a high sensitivity. The magneto-resistance effect element is provided with a first magnetic substance layer, a spacer layer stacked on the first magnetic substance layer, a second magnetic substance layer stacked on the spacer, an insulating layer positioned adjacent to a stacked structure comprising the first magnetic substance layer, the spacer layer and the second magnetic substance layer, a gate electrode positioned adjacent to the insulating layer, and a magnetism sensitive region controlled by a voltage applied to the gate electrode.

Abstract: A magnetic logic element comprises a magnetic logic element cell having; a first and second magnetic parts; a MR intermediate part provided between the first and second magnetic parts. The magnetic logic element further includes a magnetization controlling part that controls a relation of directions of magnetizations of the first and second magnetic parts in accordance with a combination of a first binary input data and a second binary input data. A binary output data can be read by detecting a magnetoresistance effect of the first and second magnetic parts through the MR intermediate part.
