Single Nanomagnet Spintronics Memory Device
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a simplified spintronics memory device comprising a single free-layer nanomagnet structure. The magnetic orientation of the nanomagnet is controlled and sensed by charge currents flowing through a channel with spin momentum locking (SML) upon which the nanomagnet is fabricated. This technology offers new materials selection to optimize the writing and readout processes. This simplification allows for further downsizing of spintronic memories to unprecedented levels.
