Magnetic cell and magnetic memory

A magnetic cell comprising:

• a first ferromagnetic layer whose magnetization is substantially fixed in a first direction which is substantially perpendicular to a film plane of the first ferromagnetic layer;
• a second ferromagnetic layer whose magnetization is substantially fixed in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
• a third ferromagnetic layer provided between the first and the second ferromagnetic layers, a direction of magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer being variable;
• a first intermediate layer provided between the first and the third ferromagnetic layers;
• and
• a second intermediate layer provided between the second and the third ferromagnetic layers,
• the direction of magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer being determined under an influence of spin-polarized electrons upon the third ferromagnetic layer by passing a current between the first and the second ferromagnetic layers.
