    Abstract: A nano spintronic device for using the spin current of a ferromagnetic material and the spin current of a heavy metal channel. The device includes a lower channel layer, a free layer, a pinned layer, an insulating film layer, and an upper channel layer. When current flows upon application of power, electrons are divided into +y-polarized spins and −y-polarized spins in the lower channel layer, thereby generating torque in the free layer. The torque switches the magnetization direction of the free layer to an +y-axis direction or an −y-axis direction so that the free layer stores magnetization information according to the magnetization direction. When current flows in the upper channel layer, the current flows into the pinned layer so that electrons in the pinned layer are divided into +y-polarized spins and −y-polarized spins. The insulating layer insulates the free layer and the pinned layer from each other. When power is supplied, current flows in the upper channel layer and flows into the pinned layer, thereby inducing polarized spins in the pinned layer, resulting in the generation of torque in the free layer.

    Abstract: A complementary logic device includes: an insulating layer formed on a substrate; a source electrode formed of a ferromagnetic body on the insulating layer; a gate insulating film; a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film and controlling a magnetization direction of the source electrode; a channel layer formed on each of a first side surface and a second side surface of the source electrode and transmitting spin-polarized electrons from the source electrode; a first drain electrode formed on the first side surface of the source electrode; and a second drain electrode formed on the second side surface of the source electrode, wherein a magnetization direction of the first drain electrode and a magnetization direction of the second drain electrode are antiparallel to each other. Therefore, not only characteristics of low power and high speed but also characteristics of non-volatility and multiple switching by spin may be obtained.
