Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory device includes a conductive layer, a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, a first nonmagnetic layer, and a controller. The conductive layer includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion between the first and second portions. The first magnetic layer is separated from the third portion. The second magnetic layer is provided between the third portion and the first magnetic layer. The first nonmagnetic layer is provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The controller is electrically connected to the first and second portions. The third portion includes a first region and a second region. The second region is provided between the first region and the second magnetic layer. The controller implements a first operation of supplying a first current to the conductive layer, and a second operation of supplying a second current to the conductive layer.
