Theme 2: Spin Wave Devices

Spin Wave Logics utilize phases in addition to amplitudes for building wave-based logic devices with functional capabilities far beyond the limits of the traditional Von Neumann architecture. We consider magnetization as a vector computational state variable, which lets us take advantage of phases and amplitudes for logic. The combination of these new ideas may lead to the development of novel circuits and architectures taking advantage of magnetic and wave-based devices (e.g. non-volatile circuits, high fan-in logic devices, devices for parallel data processing, systolic array architectures) for general and special type data processing. In this theme we plan to implement spin wave based circuits where we plan on fabricating majority gate structures. Together with these devices, we plan to incorporate essential elements of spin wave based logic and signal processing, spin wave generators, detectors and “gates”.
