"Spintronics," in which both the spin and charge of electrons are used for logic and memory operations, promises an alternate route to traditional semiconductor electronics. A complete logic architecture can be constructed, which uses planar magnetic wires that are less than a micrometer in width. Logical NOT, logical AND, signal fan-out, and signal cross-over elements each have a simple geometric design, and they can be integrated together into one circuit. An additional element for data input allows information to be written to domain-wall logic circuits.
“自旋电子学”利用电子的自旋和电荷进行逻辑和存储操作,有望成为传统半导体电子学的替代途径。可以构建一种完整的逻辑架构,它使用宽度小于一微米的平面磁线。逻辑非、逻辑与、信号扇出和信号交叉元件都具有简单的几何设计,并且可以集成到一个电路中。一个额外的数据输入元件允许将信息写入畴壁逻辑电路。
