A magnetic device includes a reference layer, the magnetization direction of which is fixed, and a storage layer, the magnetization direction of which is variable. In a write mode, the magnetization direction of the storage layer is changed so as to store a "1" or a "0" in the storage layer. In a reading mode, the resistance of the magnetic device is measured so as to know what is stored in the storage layer. The magnetic device also includes a control layer, the magnetization direction of which is variable. The magnetization direction of the control layer is controlled so as to increase the effectiveness of the spin-transfer torque in the event writing to the storage layer is desired, and to decrease the effectiveness of the spin-transfer torque in the event reading the information contained in the storage layer, without modifying the information, is desired. |
