摘要:
An oscillator is provided including a nanopillar and current injector for injecting a power supply current through the nanopillar, the nanopillar including at least one pattern including first and second layers made from a ferromagnetic material separated from each other by an intermediate layer made from a non-magnetic material. Each of the first and second ferromagnetic layers is prepared such that its remanent magnetic configuration corresponds to a vortex configuration and the polarity of the vortex core of the first layer is opposite the polarity of the vortex core of the second layer. The intermediate layer can allow repellant magnetic coupling between the two vortices of the first and second layers, for a zero intensity of the power supply current and a zero amplitude of the outside magnetic field.

A device with adjustable resistance includes two magnetic elements separated by an insulating or semi-conductor element. The resistance of the device depends on the position of a magnetic wall in one of the magnetic elements, the magnetic wall separating two areas of said magnetic element each having a separate homogeneous direction of magnetization. The device comprises means for moving the magnetic wall in the magnetic element by applying a spin-polarized electric current, such that the resistance of the device is adjustable in a continuous range of values. The invention is useful in neuromimetic circuits, neural networks and bio-inspired computers.

The general field of the invention is that of spintronics, namely the field of electronics using the magnetic spin properties of electrons. The main fields of application are the very large-scale magnetic storage of information and the measurement of local magnetic fields. The object of the invention is to considerably reduce the energy needed to reverse the magnetic domains of the ferromagnetic elements of submicron dimensions using the mechanism of the domain wall displacements that is induced either by just a current of spin-polarized carriers or by the combination of a current of spin-polarized carriers and a magnetic field, at least one of these being variable. This domain wall displacement results in a change of magnetic polarization in a specified switching zone. Several devices according to the invention are described that possess from one switching zone up to a plurality of switching zones according to the invention.
