Abstract
A magnetic memory element includes a first magnetic unit, a second magnetic unit, a third magnetic unit, a read/write unit, a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, a first current source, the second current source. The third magnetic unit is connected to one end in the first direction of the first magnetic unit and one end in the first direction of the second magnetic unit. The read/write unit includes a nonmagnetic layer and a pinned layer. The nonmagnetic layer is connected to the third magnetic unit. The pinned layer is connected to the nonmagnetic layer. The first current source causes a current to flow between the third electrode and at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode. The second current source causes a current to flow between the first electrode and the second electrode.
