PROJECT TITLE :

Low Energy Magnetic Domain Wall Logic in Short, Narrow, Ferromagnetic Wires

ABSTRACT:

We present circuit simulation results of an implementation of universal logic that operates at low switching energy. Information is stored in the position of a single domain wall in a thin, short ferromagnetic wire. The gate is switched by current-driven domain wall motion, and information is read out using a magnetic tunnel junction. The inputs and outputs of the device are currents controlled by voltage clocks, making it compatible with CMOS. Using devices that operate at 100–1 mV, we simulate a shift register circuit and a full-adder circuit. The simulations show that the magnetic logic gates can operate at lower switching energy than CMOS electronics.
