  • Publication number: 20240071451
    Abstract: The three-state spintronic device includes: a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction and a top electrode from bottom to top. The magnetic tunnel junction includes: a spin-orbit coupling layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, a barrier tunneling layer, a ferromagnetic reference layer, three local magnetic domain wall pinning centers and domain wall nucleation centers. An antisymmetric exchange interaction is modulated, and the magnetic domain wall pinning centers are embedded in an interface between a heavy metal and the ferromagnetic free layer. The magnetic domain wall nucleation centers are at two ends of the ferromagnetic free layer. A current pulse flows through the spin-orbit coupling layer to generate a spin current and the spin current is injected into the ferromagnetic free layer. Under a control of all-electrical controlled, an effective field of a spin-orbit torque drives domain wall to move and displace.

  • Publication number: 20220261621
    Abstract: Disclosed are an artificial sensory nervous circuit and a manufacturing method thereof. The artificial sensory nervous circuit includes a sensor (S), a first memristor (RS), and a neuron circuit, where the first memristor (RS) has a unidirectional resistance characteristic. The sensor (S) is configured to sensing an external signal and generating an excitation signal according to the external signal. The first memristor (RS) is configured to generating a response signal according to the excitation signal. The neuron circuit is configured to perform charging and discharging according to the response signal so as to output a pulse signal. With the artificial sensory nervous circuit and the manufacturing method thereof, sensitivity and habituation characteristics of biological perception are realized by using a simple circuit.
