Abstract
There is provided a magnetoresistance effect element includes: a channel layer that extends in a first direction; a recording layer which includes a film formed from a ferromagnetic material, of which a magnetization state is changed to one of two or greater magnetization states, and which is formed on the channel layer; a non-magnetic layer that is provided on a surface of the recording layer; a reference layer which is provided on a surface of the non-magnetic layer, which includes a film formed from a ferromagnetic material, and of which a magnetization direction is fixed; a terminal pair that includes a first terminal and a second terminal which are electrically connected to the channel layer with an interval in the first direction, and to which a current pulse for bringing the recording layer to any one magnetization state with a plurality of pulses is input by flowing a current to the channel layer between the first terminal and the second terminal; and a third terminal that is electrically connected to the reference layer.
