Abstract
A magnetic element includes a channel layer, a first magnetic electrode which is in contact with the channel layer, a second magnetic electrode which is in contact with the channel layer and is insulated from the first magnetic electrode, a first intermediate layer which is provided adjacent to the first magnetic electrode and has a first insulating layer, a first magnetic layer which is provided in contact with a surface of the first intermediate layer on an opposite side to a surface contacting the first magnetic electrode to transfer magnetization to the first magnetic electrode, a first electrode which is connected to the first magnetic electrode, and a second electrode which is connected to the second magnetic electrode, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode outputting a first signal which changes depending on a magnetic arrangement of the first magnetic electrode and the second magnetic electrode.
