Imec has demonstrated the generation and detection of spin waves in sub-micron-sized magnetic waveguides with wavelengths smaller than 350nm traveling over 10 micrometer in a 500nm wide waveguide, and has proposed models for majority operation in nanoscale spin-wave structures. Spintronic majority gate devices promise alternatives to CMOS technology for certain applications, for example for arithmetic …
