Abstract
A magnetic memory includes: a first and second terminals; a conductive layer including first to fourth regions, the first and fourth regions being electrically connected to the first and second terminals respectively; a first magnetoresistive element including: a first and second magnetic layers; a first nonmagnetic layer between the first and second magnetic layers; and a third terminal electrically connected to the first magnetic layer; a second magnetoresistive element including: a third and fourth magnetic layers; a second nonmagnetic layer between the third and fourth magnetic layers; and a fourth terminal electrically connected to the third magnetic layer; and a circuit configured to apply a write current between the first terminal and the second terminal and apply a first and second potentials to the third and fourth terminals respectively to write the first and second magnetoresistive elements, the first and second potentials being different from each other.
