    摘要: A system including a racetrack memory layer is described. The racetrack memory layer includes a plurality of bit locations and a plurality of domain wall traps. The bit locations are interleaved with the domain wall traps. Each of the bit locations has a first domain wall speed. Each of the domain wall traps has a second domain wall speed. The first domain wall speed is greater than the second domain wall speed. The first domain wall speed and the second domain wall speed are due to at least one of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction variation in the racetrack memory layer, a synthetic antiferromagnetic effect variation in the racetrack memory layer, and a separation distance for the plurality of domain wall traps corresponding to an intrinsic travel distance. The separation distance is less than one hundred nanometers.
