Magnetic structure including two ferromagnetically coupled magnetic layers and method of manufacturing same
A magnetic structure includes a first magnetic layer, a nonmagnetic insulating layer, a nonmagnetic adhesion layer disposed on the top surfaces of the first magnetic layer and the nonmagnetic insulating layer, and a second magnetic layer disposed on the nonmagnetic adhesion layer. The nonmagnetic insulating layer contains an oxygen atom. The nonmagnetic adhesion layer is composed of one element or a plurality of elements selected from the group consisting of Al, Si and nonmagnetic transition metal elements except Ru, and the bond enthalpy of a diatomic molecule composed of an atom of the one element or each of the plurality of elements and an oxygen atom is 400 kJ/mol or higher. The nonmagnetic adhesion layer has a thickness within a range of 0.3 to 0.8 nm. The first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer are ferromagnetically coupled to each other.
