Abstract

Provided are a magnetoresistive element, a magnetic memory device, and a writing and reading method for a magnetic memory device, in which an aspect ratio of a junction portion can be decreased. A magnetoresistive elementof the invention, includes: a heavy metal layerthat is an epitaxial layer; and a junction portionincluding a recording layerthat is provided on the heavy metal layerand includes a ferromagnetic layer of an epitaxial layer magnetized in an in-plane direction, which is an epitaxial layer, a barrier layerthat is provided on the recording layerand includes an insulating body, and a reference layerthat is provided on the barrier layerand has magnetization fixed in the in-plane direction, in which the recording layeris subjected to magnetization reversal by applying a write current to the heavy metal layer
