SPINTRONICS ELEMENT AND MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICE
A spintronics element (100) includes an antiferromagnetic layer (20) and an MTJ element (30). The antiferromagnetic layer (20) is made of a canted antiferromagnet having a canted magnetic moment to exhibit a relatively tiny magnetization, and allows an electric current flowing in one direction (y-axis direction) parallel to an in-plane direction to induce spin accumulation in which spins of electrons are polarized parallel to or obliquely to an out-of-plane direction (z-axis direction). The MTJ element (30) is stacked on the antiferromagnetic layer (20), contains a ferromagnet with a magnetization (M11) aligned with the out-of-plane direction that is a stacking direction, and allows a spin current generated in the antiferromagnetic layer (20) to exert a spin-orbit torque on the magnetization (M11), thereby causing reversal of the magnetization (M11).

Magnetic device including spin sinker
Disclosed is a magnetic device including a spin sinker. The magnetic device includes a storage medium, a spin sinker, and a read node. The storage medium receives an in-plane current from outside and generates a self-generated spin current that perpendicularly flows to a charge current, thereby controlling a data structure with the self-generated spin current. The spin sinker receives and attenuates the spin current. The read node measures a magnetoresistance of a data structure through the storage medium. The storage medium is made of a magnetic metal and the spin sinker is made of a magnetic insulating material.
