One dimensional cellular array of in-plane spin torque oscillators

Abstract

Spin torque nanodevices are promising candidates to provide a computational platform beyond Moore's law. The network of spin oscillators can have only local, cellular interconnections because of the underlying physics: the interaction between the oscillators is implemented by spin waves through the magnetic field and the computation is done by the synchronization of the oscillators in an array. In this paper we summarize the dynamics of weakly coupled spin-torque oscillator networks and we also show how functionality can be designed for one dimensional cellular spin-torque oscillator networks and how the connection strength will determine the output. spin torque oscillators, synchronization, weakly coupled oscillators, cellular array, cellular nanoscale network.
