  • Publication number: 20250127062
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled three-terminal magnon transistor is provided, including a ferroelectric layer, a magnetic layer, a generation terminal, a control terminal, a detection terminal, and a bottom electrode. After a current is inputted into the generation terminal, a magnon is generated in the magnetic layer. The detection terminal is made of a heavy metal material, which can convert the magnon in the magnetic layer into a charge flow. When a voltage pulse applied between the control terminal and the bottom electrode exceeds a critical value, non-volatile polarization and non-volatile strain states of the ferroelectric layer change, which in turn affects a transmission capability of the magnon in the magnetic layer based on a magnetoelectric coupling effect between the ferroelectric layer and the magnetic layer. In addition, a voltage signal of the detection terminal exhibits a regular loop change behavior with a change of the voltage pulse.

Translation invariance is used to generate a position descriptor and thereby perform candidate matching for place re-recognition; and cross-correlation calculation may be performed together with radon transform to solve relative rotation and translation. In the described method, a time-varying environment is considered, and by using a multi-channel feature BEV for representation, the capability of representing a local feature in a laser point cloud can be improved.
