Memory element, memory apparatus |
摘要 |
A memory element includes a memory layer having magnetization perpendicular to a film face of the memory layer in which a direction of the magnetization configured to be changed. The memory element includes a magnetization-fixed layer having a magnetization perpendicular to the film face. The memory element includes an intermediate layer that is formed of a non-magnetic material and is provided between the memory layer and the magnetization-fixed layer. The memory layer includes a multilayer structure in which a non-magnetic material and an oxide are laminated. The direction of the magnetization of the memory layer is configured to be changed by applying a current in a lamination direction of the layered structure to record information in the memory layer. |

1. A memory element, comprising:
(a) a memory layer having magnetization perpendicular to a film face of the memory layer and parallel to a thickness direction of the memory element in which a direction of the magnetization is changeable, the memory layer comprising two ferromagnetic material layers between which is a multilayer structure in which a non-magnetic layer and a non-magnetic oxide layer are in direct contact with each other, the direction of the magnetization of the memory layer being changeable by applying a current in the thickness direction of the memory element to record information in the memory layer, the two ferromagnetic material layers comprising a same ferromagnetic material and having the same direction of magnetization, (b) a magnetization-fixed layer having a fixed magnetization perpendicular to the film face and parallel to the thickness direction of the memory element, and (c) an intermediate layer comprising a non-magnetic material between the memory layer and the magnetization-fixed layer, wherein,
the non-magnetic layer is in direct contact with one of the ferromagnetic layers and the non-magnetic oxide layer is in direct contact with the other of the ferromagnetic layers, andthe non-magnetic layer is a metallic material layer and not an oxide layer. |
