    摘要: Spin torque magnetic logic device having at least one input element and an output element. Current is applied through the input element(s), and the resulting resistance or voltage across the output element is measured. The input element(s) include a free layer and the output element includes a free layer that is electrically connected to the free layer of the input element. The free layers of the input element and the output element may be electrically connected via magnetostatic coupling, or may be physically coupled. In some embodiments, the output element may have more than one free layer.

    摘要: A spin-torque probe microscope and methods of using the same are described. The spin-torque probe microscope includes a cantilever probe body, a magnetic tip disposed at a distal end of the cantilever probe body, an electrically conductive sample disposed proximate to the magnetic tip, an electrical circuit providing a spin-polarized electron current to the electrically conductive sample, and a vibration detection element configured to sense vibration frequency of the cantilever probe body. The spin-polarized electron current is sufficient to alter a local electron spin or magnetic moment within the electrically conductive sample and be sensed by the magnetic tip.

    摘要: A conductive write line of a memory device includes a resistive heating portion for setting and resetting a phase-change material (PCM) storage cell of the device. A dielectric interface extends between the resistive heating portion of the write line and a side of the storage cell, and provides electrical insulation while allowing for thermal coupling between the resistive heating portion and the storage cell. A width of the resistive heating portion of the write line may be less than a width of the storage cell and/or may be less than a width of adjacent portions of the write line, between which the resistive heating portion extends. The side of the storage cell may define a channel of the storage cell through which the write line passes, such that the resistive heating portion is located within the channel.

    摘要: A memory unit includes a giant magnetoresistance cell electrically coupled between a write bit line and a write source line and a magnetic tunnel junction data cell electrically coupled between a read bit line and a read source line. A write current passing through the giant magnetoresistance cell switches the giant magnetoresistance cell between a high resistance state and a low resistance state. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by magnetostatic coupling with the giant magnetoresistance cell. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is read by a read current passing though the magnetic tunnel junction data cell.
