Abstract

A magnetic storage element according to an embodiment includes: a magnetic nanowire having a cross-sectional area varying in a first direction, the magnetic nanowire having at least two positions where the cross-sectional area is minimal; first and second electrode groups having the magnetic nanowire interposed in between, the magnetic nanowire including at least one of a first region where the first electrodes overlap the second electrodes with the magnetic nanowire interposed in between and a second region where neither the first electrodes nor the second electrodes exist with the magnetic nanowire interposed in between, the magnetic nanowire including at least one of a third region where the first electrodes exist and the second electrodes do not exist with the magnetic nanowire interposed in between and a fourth region where the first electrodes do not exist and the second electrodes exist with the magnetic nanowire interposed in between.
