  • Patent number: 11411046
    Abstract: Electrical devices with an integral thermoelectric generator comprising a spin-Seebeck insulator and a spin orbit coupling material, and associated methods of fabrication. A spin-Seebeck thermoelectric material stack may be integrated into macroscale power cabling as well as nanoscale device structures. The resulting structures are to leverage the spin-Seebeck effect (SSE), in which magnons may transport heat from a source (an active device or passive interconnect) and through the spin-Seebeck insulator, which develops a resulting spin voltage. The SOC material is to further convert the spin voltage into an electric voltage to complete the thermoelectric generation process. The resulting electric voltage may then be coupled into an electric circuit.

An RN implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a first MESO device to apply a threshold function to an input signal provided at a magnetization port of the MESO device, and scale the result by a first weighting factor supplied at an input port of the MESO device to generate an RN output signal. The RN further includes a second MESO device to receive the RN output signal at a magnetization port of the second MESO device and generate a scaled previous RN state value. The scaled previous state value is a scaled and time delayed version of the RN output signal based on a second weighting factor. The RN input signal is a summation of the scaled previous state value of the RN with weighted synaptic input signals provided to the RN.
