Spin-Diode Logic for Bio-Inspired Computing
Why?
Spintronics – the utilization of electron spin in addition to charge – is a revolutionary new
path for computing. In particular, Spin-Diode Logic, which uses directly cascaded
magnetoresistive devices to perform binary logic functions, has the potential to transform
computing through exceptional switching speeds.
In this internship, we will focus on a specific original application: a spintronic Bayesian
inference machine inspired by biological processes, and developed as part of a European
project (http://www.bambi-fet.eu/). It can take particular advantage of the features of
Spin-Diode Logic.
What?
Develop the theory of Spin-Diode Logic switching by creating models and equations that
characterize the relevant spintronic and electromagnetic processes.
How?
1) Study Spin-Diode Logic and the spintronic devices with which it can be implemented.
2) Generate physical model of the circuit structure based on spintronic and
electromagnetic wave theory.
3) Formulate equations that characterize the switching speed of Spin-Diode Logic based
on physical model.
4) Evaluate switching speed of Spin-Diode Logic for particular spintronic devices.
5) Investigate implications for spintronic computing with bioinspired Bayesian inference.
6) Publish paper(s) describing model, explaining equations, and discussing computing
implications for binary logic and Bayesian inference.
For students focused on: Electrical Engineering, Physics or Applied Physics.
The internship should be 10 weeks minimum.
