Low Energy Magnetic Domain Wall Logic in Short, Narrow, Ferromagnetic Wires

We present circuit simulation results of an implementation of universal logic that operates at low switching energy. Information is stored in the position of a single domain wall in a thin, short ferromagnetic wire. The gate is switched by current-driven domain wall motion, and information is read out using a magnetic tunnel junction. The inputs and outputs of the device are currents controlled by voltage clocks, making it compatible with CMOS. Using devices that operate at 100-1 mV, we simulate a shift register circuit and a full-adder circuit. The simulations show that the magnetic logic gates can operate at lower switching energy than CMOS electronics.
