Perpendicular Nanomagnetic Logic: Digital Logic Circuits from Field-coupled Magnets

Perpendicular Nanomagnetic Logic (pNML) is a promising, emerging beyond-CMOS technology employing field-coupling of nonvolatile nanomagnets to perform logic operations. This work investigates digital logic circuits from field-coupled magnets at the nanoscale by experiment. Focus is put on the demonstration of the fundamental principles of pNML, their modeling and application in basic logic gates and circuits. Simulations show the performance of pNML in terms of scaling and material improvements and prove the high potential of complex pNML systems.
