Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetic device including a spin-current pattern generating a spin current perpendicular to a main plane of the spin-current pattern by an in-plane current, and a free magnetic layer disposed in contact with the spin-current pattern and having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetically switchable by the spin current.
