  • Selectively conductive structure wherein a magnetic conductor is sized to have a cross-section diameter similar to a Fermi wavelength of electrons
    Patent number: 7425826
    Abstract: The invention includes a conductor with a first side and a second side. The conductor may be sized to have a cross-section diameter substantially similar to a Fermi wavelength of electrons in the conductor, the cross-section diameter being taken substantially perpendicular to a primary direction in which current could flow through the conductor. The conductor size may be selected so that when a magnetic field less than a threshold value is applied to the conductor, the first side of the conductor has a first magnetic state and the second side of the conductor has a second magnetic state. However, when a magnetic field of sufficient strength is applied to the magnetic conductor the first side and the second side will be caused to have the same magnetic state.
