Abstract

A spin-injection magnetic random access memory of an aspect of the present invention includes a magnetoresistive element, a unit which writes data into the magnetoresistive element by use of spin-polarized electrons generated by a spin-injection current and which applies, to the magnetoresistive element, a magnetic field of a direction of a hard magnetization of the magnetoresistive element during the writing.
