RECORDABLE MAGNETIC ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC G11C11/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a recordable magnetic element. The element comprises a stack of layers with a magnetic recording layer made of at least one magnetic material having a magnetisation direction perpendicular to the plane thereof, located between the first and second external layers made of the first and second nonmagnetic materials. The second nonmagnetic material is electroconductive. The recordable magnetic element includes a device which forces recording current to flow through the second external layer and the magnetic recording layer in the direction parallel to the plane of the magnetic recording layer, and a device for applying, in the presence of the said recording current, a magnetic recording field along the direction of the magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the plane of the magnetic recording layer. Memory is recorded in one direction or another direction by acting on the direction of the applied magnetic recording field.

EFFECT: enabling the change of direction of magnetisation.
