According to one embodiment, a nonvolatile memory device includes a magnetic memory element and a control unit. The magnetic memory element includes a stacked body including first and second stacked units. The first stacked unit includes a first ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization fixed, a second ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization variable and a first nonmagnetic layer provided between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The second includes a third ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization rorated by a passed current to produce oscillation, a fourth ferromagnetic layer having a magnetization fixed and a second nonmagnetic layer provided between the third and fourth ferromagnetic layers stacked with each other. A frequency of the oscillation changes in accordance with the direction of the magnetization of the second ferromagnetic layer. The control unit includes a reading unit reading out the magnetization of the second ferromagnetic layer. |
