Abstract

A magnetic memory according to the present invention has: a first underlayer; a second underlayer so formed on the first underlayer as to be in contact with the first underlayer; and a data storage layer so formed on the second underlayer as to be in contact with the second underlayer. The data storage layer is made of a ferromagnetic material having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. A magnetization state of the data storage layer is changed by current driven domain wall motion.
