Abstract

A magnetic memory according to an embodiment includes: a magnetic nanowire; first insulating layers provided on a first surface of the magnetic nanowire, each of the first insulating layers having a first and second end faces, a thickness of the first insulating layer over the first end face being thicker than a thickness of the first insulating layer over the second end face; first electrodes on surfaces of the first insulating layers opposite to the first surface; second insulating layers on the second surface of the magnetic nanowire, each of the second insulating layers having a third and fourth end faces, a thickness of the second insulating layer over the third surface being thicker than a thickness of the second insulating layer over the fourth end face; and second electrodes on surfaces of the second insulating layers.
