Claim Text:
1. A magnetic memory comprising: a multilayer structure including in order a semiconductor layer, a first ferromagnetic layer, a nonmagnetic layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer, the first ferromagnetic layer being in contact with the semiconductor layer, the semiconductor layer and the first ferromagnetic layer forming a Schottky barrier in between; a first wiring line electrically connected to the semiconductor layer; a second wiring line electrically connected to the second ferromagnetic layer; and a voltage applying circuit electrically connected between the first wiring line and the second wiring line to apply a first voltage between the semiconductor layer and the second ferromagnetic layer during a write operation, a magnetization direction of the first ferromagnetic layer being switchable by applying the first voltage.
