Nanomagnetic network structures and a method of reconfigurable operation based on magnetization dynamics

摘要

A nanomagnetic structure and a method of fabricating a nanomagnetic structure. The nanomagnetic comprises two or more nanomagnetic material elements, each nanomagnetic material element having a respective predetermined geometric shape such that the nanomagnetic structure exhibits different stable ground states initializable by magnetic fields applied across the nanomagnetic structure in respective different directions; wherein the nanomagnetic material elements are disposed relative to each other such that the magnetic structure exhibits a difference in effective internal magnetic field strength between the different stable ground states. Advantageously, this variation in the internal magnetic field strength is the key for distinct dynamic response associated with the different magnetic ground states. Reconfigurable operation has been shown based on this magnetization dynamics in example embodiments.
