Magnetic devices are components for creating, manipulating or detecting magnetic fields. This can include magnetic memories, magnetometers and devices for magneto-optics. Magnetism can also play a central role in spintronic devices.
Sensitive spin rectifier devices can be used to create rectennas that harvest ambient radiofrequency signals between –62 and –20 dBm, and can be used to create on-chip co-planar-waveguide-based spin rectifier arrays with large zero-bias sensitivity and high efficiency.
Generating and controlling noncollinear spin textures is a promising route towards developing next-generation logic architectures beyond CMOS. Now, these spin textures can be engineered in twisted magnetic two-dimensional materials.
The combination of optical lithography with a transfer technique based on a sacrificial substrate enables the creation of a 3D-racetrack memory made from state-of-the-art spintronic materials.
An artificial spin ice, containing two types of nanomagnets, can perform reservoir computing with minor magnetic field loops and spin wave spectra acting as inputs and outputs, respectively.
By understanding the magnetic properties of purely organic thin films, opportunities are presented to employ new characteristics in myriad applications.
