Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory device includes a stacked structure including a first magnetic layer having a variable magnetization direction, a second magnetic layer having a fixed magnetization direction, and a nonmagnetic layer provided between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer includes a first surface in contact with the nonmagnetic layer and a second surface on an opposite side to the first surface, a diameter of the second surface of the first magnetic layer is less than a diameter of the first surface of the first magnetic layer and is 10 nm or more, and a ratio of a height of the first magnetic layer to the diameter of the second surface of the first magnetic layer is 0.9 or more.
