    Abstract: A spin transducer includes a first spin orbit torque wiring layer, a second spin orbit torque wiring layer, and a first spin wave propagation layer. The first spin wave propagation layer is between the first spin orbit torque wiring layer and the second spin orbit torque wiring layer. A current or voltage is applied between a first end and a second end of the first spin orbit torque wiring layer in a first direction, and a current or voltage between a third end and a fourth end of the second spin orbit torque wiring layer is output. The third end and the fourth end are at different positions on the second spin orbit torque wiring layer in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
