1. A magnetic element, comprising:

  • a resettable layer having a first magnetization that is set in a selected direction by at least one magnetic field, each magnetic field being generated externally to the resettable layer;

    a storage layer having at least one magnetic easy axis and having a second magnetization that changes direction based on a spin-transfer effect when a write current passes through the magnetic element; and

    a spacing layer formed between the resettable layer and the storage layer.
