Programmable magnetic logic component has gate elements, each with magnetoresistive layer system with magnetic information and reference layers separated by intermediate layer

摘要

The device has at least two gate elements (G1,G2), each with a magnetoresistive layer system (11,21) with at least one information layer (S) and at least one magnetic reference layer (R) separated by a non-magnetic intermediate layer (Z). The information layer material is magnetically weaker than the reference layer material and magnetizations of opposite polarity are imposed on the reference layers of both layer systems.
