It provides a magnetic thin film memory element utilizing the GMR effect. The memory element comprising a first magnetic layer with a closed magnetic circuit structure, a second magnetic layer with a closed magnetic circuit structure having a coercive force higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic layer disposed between the first and second magnetic layers, at least a part of which is made of an insulating material. It also discloses methods for recording and reproducing information in and from such memory element.
