Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory including a first magnetic unit, a first nonmagnetic unit, a first fixed magnetic unit, a second fixed magnetic unit, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode. The first magnetic unit extends in a first direction. The first magnetic unit includes a plurality of magnetic domains arranged in the first direction. The first nonmagnetic unit contacts one end of the first magnetic unit. The first fixed magnetic unit is separated from the first magnetic unit. The first fixed magnetic unit contacts the first nonmagnetic unit. The second fixed magnetic unit is separated from the first magnetic unit and the first fixed magnetic unit. The second fixed magnetic unit is in contact with the first nonmagnetic unit. The second fixed magnetic unit is magnetized in a direction different from a magnetization direction of the first fixed magnetic unit.
