Spin logic devices based on negative differential resistance-enhanced anomalous Hall effect

  • Owing to rapid developments in spintronics, spin-based logic devices have emerged as promising tools for next-generation computing technologies. This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in spin logic devices, particularly focusing on fundamental device concepts rooted in nanomagnets, magnetoresistive random access memory, spin–orbit torques, electric-field modulation, and magnetic domain walls. The operation principles of these devices are comprehensively analyzed, and recent progress in spin logic devices based on negative differential resistance-enhanced anomalous Hall effect is summarized. These devices exhibit reconfigurable logic capabilities and integrate nonvolatile data storage and computing functionalities. For current-driven spin logic devices, negative differential resistance elements are employed to nonlinearly enhance anomalous Hall effect signals from magnetic bits, enabling reconfigurable Boolean logic operations. Besides, voltage-driven spin logic devices employ another type of negative differential resistance element to achieve logic functionalities with excellent cascading ability. By cascading several elementary logic gates, the logic circuit of a full adder can be obtained, and the potential of voltage-driven spin logic devices for implementing complex logic functions can be verified. This review contributes to the understanding of the evolving landscape of spin logic devices and underscores the promising prospects they offer for the future of emerging computing schemes.
