Abstract

The present invention provides a layer structure for a magnetic memory element in which the drive current required for domain wall motion is reduced, and the controllability of domain wall motion is improved, and provides a magnetic memory element having the layer structure. A layer structure (9) for a magnetic memory element (10) comprises multiple first ferromagnetic layers (1) with a switchable spin state and boundary layers (2) each located between each pair of the multiple first ferromagnetic layers (1) to form a domain wall, the boundary layers (2) being for generating ferromagnetic interaction (Aex) between the multiple first ferromagnetic layers (1).
