Abstract
A magnetic memory includes a plurality of cylindrical magnetic members each extending along a first direction and having a first end portion and a second end portion; and a magnetoresistive element that includes: a magnetization variable layer with a variable magnetization direction, a magnetization fixed layer with a fixed magnetization direction, and a non-magnetic layer between the magnetization variable layer and the magnetization fixed layer. When viewed in the first direction, the magnetoresistive element overlaps a part of the first end portion of one of the magnetic members. The magnetization direction of the magnetization variable layer intersects with the magnetization direction of the magnetization fixed layer at an angle larger than 0 degrees and smaller than 180 degrees.
