A magnetization controlling element includes a ferromagnetic material layer, an exchange coupling adjustment layer, an antiferromagnetic material layer, an electrode layer, a magnetic field applying mechanism which applies a magnetic field to the antiferromagnetic material layer, and an electric field applying mechanism which applies an electric field to the antiferromagnetic material layer. The antiferromagnetic material layer contains an antiferromagnetic material or ferrimagnetic material having a magnetoelectric effect, the ferromagnetic material layer includes a perpendicular magnetization film having a magnetization component perpendicular to the film surface, the ferromagnetic material layer includes a ferromagnetic material layer that is magnetically connected, through exchange coupling, to the antiferromagnetic material layer. The exchange coupling adjustment layer has a function of adjusting exchange coupling between the ferromagnetic material layer and the antiferromagnetic material layer. |
