Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetoresistive element includes a storage layer having a perpendicular and variable magnetization, a reference layer having a perpendicular and invariable magnetization, a shift adjustment layer having a perpendicular and invariable magnetization in a direction opposite to a magnetization of the reference layer, a first nonmagnetic layer between the storage layer and the reference layer, and a second nonmagnetic layer between the reference layer and the shift adjustment layer. A switching magnetic field of the reference layer is equal to or smaller than a switching magnetic field of the storage layer, and a magnetic relaxation constant of the reference layer is larger than a magnetic relaxation constant of the storage layer.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-146718 filed on Jun. 30, 2011, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments described herein relate generally to magnetoresistive elements and magnetic memories. Background technique [0004] A magnetoresistive element has as a basic structure a laminated structure including a magnetic layer (reference layer) with constant magnetization, a magnetic layer (storage layer) with variable magnetization, and a nonmagnetic layer between these two magnetic layers, and is LSI for memory cells of magnetic random access memory or spin field effect transistors (FETs) for reconfigurable logic circuits, etc. In this case, the magnetoresistive element is patterned in a columnar shape. [0005] In addition, as a problem inherent in the magnetoresistive element, there is a problem...
