Abstract: A non-volatile logic device, comprising: a first input element magnetizable along a first direction to impart or change a chirality of a domain wall traversing the first input element a second input element configured to transport the domain wall, a magnetization of the second input element along a second direction representing a second logical input; a bifurcated output section comprising a pair of output elements for receiving the domain wall from the second input element, a magnetization of at least part of the output elements being changeable by propagation of the domain wall along the output elements; and a non-magnetic conductive element; wherein the magnetization in an output element after propagation of the domain wall represents a value of a logical function selectable by passing an electrical current through the non-magnetic conductive element to induce a magnetic field of a desired magnitude and direction in the second input element.

Abstract: A magnetic random number generator is disclosed. The magnetic random number generator comprises: a) a Hall cross structure comprising at least one magnetic nanowire with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy; b) an in-plane pulsed current generator operable to generate stochastic nucleation of domain walls (DWs) in the Hall cross structure; and c) a sensor configured to measure a parameter of the Hall cross structure upon DW nucleation, wherein said parameter has a value representing a random number. A greater number of Hall cross structures may be employed to generate a random number having a greater number of bits.
