Key Points

To identify the optimal magnetic anisotropy and geometry in low-barrier magnets to minimize correlation time and energy consumption in hardware binary stochastic neurons.
Developed analytical descriptions comparing the magnetization fluctuation dynamics of circular disk magnets with in-plane magnetic anisotropy against perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
Performed SPICE circuit simulations to evaluate the energy-delay performance of spin-orbit torque and spin-transfer torque MRAM architectures utilizing low-barrier circular in-plane magnets.
Circular in-plane magnetic anisotropy magnets demonstrated correlation times two orders of magnitude shorter than perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnets due to demagnetization-field-driven precession-like fluctuations.
Hardware binary stochastic neuron designs with circular in-plane magnets achieved subnanosecond response times and required only a few femtojoules per neuron evaluation, orders of magnitude lower than conventional digital CMOS circuits.
