Abstract

A magnetic recording element according to an example of the present invention includes a magnetic free layer whose magnetization is variable in accordance with a current direction passing through a film and whose direction of easy axis of magnetization is a direction perpendicular to a film plane, a magnetic pinned layer whose magnetization is fixed to a direction perpendicular to the film plane, and a non-magnetic barrier layer between the magnetic free layer and the magnetic pinned layer. In the magnetic free layer, a relation between a saturated magnetization Ms (emu / cc) and an anisotropy field Han (Oe) satisfies Han>12.57 Ms, and Han<1.2 E 7 MS<-1>+12.57 Ms.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a magnetic recording element and a magnetic memory using magnetization reversal caused by spin-polarized electrons. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research and development of spintronics devices using electronic rotation degrees of freedom have been actively carried out. [0003] For example, in a hard disk drive, the magnetization state of the recording medium is controlled by a magnetic field from a magnetic head, while in a magnetic random access memory, the magnetization state of a magnetoresistive element is controlled by a composite magnetic field from two recording lines. [0004] This method of using a magnetic field to control the magnetization state has a long history, and it has become a well-known technique. [0005] On the other hand, due to the latest advances in nanotechnology, the miniaturization of recording units and magnetoresistive elements of recording media has been improved, and therefo...
