Description
In addition to the electron's charge, spintronics deals with the electron's spin and magnetic moment for computation or data storage. Certainly, an extremely promising application of spintronic devices is datastorage; the remanence makes the memory non-volatile and instant-on. Moreover, these devices are thermally stable making them suitable for extreme-temperature operations. In this monograph, we leverage spintronic devices for information processing and do not cover data-storage. We explore three non- Boolean computational framework: (1) Energy minimization based optimizer, which we recently published in Nature Nanotechnology [23], (2) Coupled Oscillatory framework [47] and (3) Neuromorphic learning framework. In Energy minimization framework, we harness the innate physical properties of nanomagnets to directly solve a class of energy minimization problems. Due to the fact that the Hamiltonian of a system of coupled nanomagnets is quadratic, a wide class of quadratic energy minimization can be solved much more quickly by the relaxation of a grid of nanomagnets than by a conventional Boolean processor. Another property that researchers have harnessed is achieving radio-frequency ferromagnetic resonance, which can be harnessed in a system of nano-oscillators to provide solution to dynamical systems. This property is also utilized in neuromorphic frameworks.
