Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment, a magnetoresistive element includes a first magnetic layer as a reference layer, a second magnetic layer as a storage layer, a nonmagnetic insulating layer between the first and second magnetic layers, and an antiferromagnetic conductive layer which is adjacent to a side opposite to the nonmagnetic insulating layer side of the second magnetic layer in a vertical direction in which the first and second magnetic layers are stacked. The second magnetic layer includes an area which is magnetically coupled with the antiferromagnetic conductive layer and which has a magnetization direction parallel with a magnetization direction of the second magnetic layer.
