    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 random number generator using a stochastic magnetic tunneling junction structure is proposed. The random number generator includes: a first magnetic tunneling junction structure including a first pinned layer, a first tunnel junction layer, and a first free layer that are sequentially stacked, and stochastically having a parallel state and an anti-parallel state in which a magnetization direction of the first pinned layer and a magnetization direction of the first free layer is parallel and anti-parallel, respectively; and a first power supplier connected to the first magnetic tunneling junction structure and configured to supply AC voltage/current to the first magnetic tunneling junction structure.
