Magnetization Vector Rotation Reservoir Computing Operated by Redox Mechanism

Physical reservoir computing is a promising way to develop efficient artificial intelligence using physical devices exhibiting nonlinear dynamics. Although magnetic materials have advantages in miniaturization, the need for a magnetic field and large electric current results in high electric power consumption and a complex device structure. To resolve these issues, we propose a redox-based physical reservoir utilizing the planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance, which are phenomena described by different nonlinear functions of the magnetization vector that do not need a magnetic field to be applied. The expressive power of this reservoir based on a compact all-solid-state redox transistor is higher than the previous physical reservoir. The normalized mean square error of the reservoir on a second-order nonlinear equation task was 1.69 × 10–3, which is lower than that of a memristor array (3.13 × 10–3) even though the number of reservoir nodes was fewer than half that of the memristor array.
