Magnetic domain wall movement element and magnetic array

Abstract

A magnetic domain wall movement element includes: a laminate including a ferromagnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer, and a magnetic domain wall movement layer; a first conductive layer; and a first surface layer laminated above a substrate in order from the substrate, wherein the non-magnetic layer is sandwiched between the ferromagnetic layer and the magnetic domain wall movement layer, wherein the first conductive layer is connected to an upper surface of the magnetic domain wall movement layer, wherein the first surface layer contacts at least a part of an upper surface of the magnetic domain wall movement layer, and wherein the resistivity of the first surface layer is higher than the resistivity of the magnetic domain wall movement layer.
