Modeling Computer Memory Based on Ferromagnetic/Superconductor Multilayers

Abstract: A model of superconducting computer memory exploiting the orthogonal spin transfer (OST) in the pseudospin valve (PS) that is controlled by the three-terminal Josephson superconducting-ferromagnetic transistor (SFT) is developed. The building blocks of the memory are hybrid PS and SFT structures. The memory model is formulated in terms of the equation-defined PS and SFT devices integrated into the PS/SFT memory cell (MC) circuit. Logical units "0" and "1" are associated with the two PS states respectively char… Show more

“…Multilayer superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) heterostructures can be used for construction of tunable cryolelctronic element, such as switches, Josephson junctions, inductances et cetera [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Below we present theoretical and experimental investigations of an S/F "stranded wire" with a controllable proximity effect.…”

“…Niobium-based Josephson junction technology is currently implied to be used for the logics fabrication, however, hybrid Josephson junctions incorporating magnetic components are also considered for the mainframe computation components [9,[14][15][16][17][18][19], and cache and main memories [8,[20][21][22][23][24][25]. It is argued that the use of magnetic Josephson junctions in single-flux quantum electronics significantly reduces the number of junctions and interconnects in the circuits [26] and also has other important advantages such as wide operation margins and low bit-error rate [27]. The magnetic material has to be magnetically soft, tunable and weak in the sense of small spin-polarization of the conduction band [10,28].…”

“…Single-quantum logic is the most developed one in application to supercomputing [ 20 , 21 ]; within its framework, weak ferromagnetic couplings in Josephson junctions [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] were proposed as the intrinsic phase shifters of the superconducting wave function. “Magnetic Josephson contacts” have found their application in logic gates [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] and random access and cache memories [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ], significantly reducing the number of Josephson junctions and interconnects in the circuitries [ 38 ] and providing wide operation margin tolerances and low bit-error-rates [ 39 ]. The recent proposal of ultralow power artificial synapses utilizing magnetic Josephson junctions with magnetic nanoclusters in the weak link [ 40 ] further extends the range of applications towards large-scale neuromorphic computing networks.…”
