ABSTRACT:
Spin torque magnetic logic device having at least one input element and an output element. Current is applied through the input element(s), and the resulting resistance or voltage across the output element is measured. The input element(s) include a free layer and the output element includes a free layer that is electrically connected to the free layer of the input element. The free layers of the input element and the output element may be electrically connected via magnetostatic coupling, or may be physically coupled. In some embodiments, the output element may have more than one free layer.
