Abstract:
A magnetic memory structure includes a memory track which has consecutive magnetic domains. Each of the magnetic domains has memory capacity of one bit. A first domain-wall injecting layer intersects and connects a terminal of the memory track and constantly stores a first binary data. A second domain-wall injecting layer against the first domain-wall injecting layer intersects and connects the terminal of the memory track and constantly stores a second binary data different from the first binary data. The memory track and one of the first domain-wall injecting layer and the second domain-wall injecting layer together form a domain wall.

The magnetic memory includes a plurality of lead structures, a plurality of first magnetic metal structures, a second magnetic metal structure, and an insulation layer. Each of the first magnetic metal structures is disposed between adjacent two of the lead structures, and the second magnetic metal structure spans over the lead structures. A structure composed of the first magnetic metal structures and the second magnetic metal structure includes a plurality of magnetic memory cells connected with each other. Each of the magnetic memory cells has a magnetic domain and a domain wall adjacent to the magnetic domain, wherein the magnetic domain is suitable for storing a bit data.
Abstract:
Magnetic memories and methods are disclosed. A magnetic memory as described herein includes a plurality of stacked data storage layers to form a three-dimensional magnetic memory. Bits may be written to a data storage layer in the form of magnetic domains. The bits can then be transferred between the stacked data storage layers by heating a neighboring data storage layer, which allows the magnetic fields from the magnetic domains to imprint the magnetic domains in the neighboring data storage layer. By imprinting the magnetic domains into the neighboring data storage layer, the bits are copied from one data storage layer to another.
Abstract:
A microwave bandstop filter having a magnetic strip formed over dielectric material. The magnetic resonant frequency is controlled by an induced magnetic anisotropy in the magnetic strip of the microwave bandstop filter. The magnetic anisotropy field is induced by an anisotropic surface texture formed on the surface of the magnetic strip itself, or formed on an underlying layer. Alternatively, the anisotropic surface texture could be formed on both an underlying layer and on the magnetic strip itself. This induced magnetic anisotropy field allows the resonant frequency of the microwave filter to be controlled over a wide frequency range and make high frequency operation possible without reliance on the application of an externally applied magnetic field.

The injection pad and the nanowire of the disclosed magnetic storage devices have a geometry that is designed to optimize high density memory storage via low magnetic field domain wall shifting. The devices may be utilized, for example, for generating and storing magnetic domain walls for application in memory devices, sensor devices, and logic devices.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable writing data on, and reading data of, multi-state elements having greater than two states. The elements may be made of magnetoplastic and/or magnetoelastic materials, including, for example, magnetic shape-memory alloy or other materials that couple magnetic and crystallographic states. The writing process is preferably conducted through the application of a magnetic field and/or a mechanical action. The reading process is preferably conducted through atomic-force microscopy, magnetic-force microscopy, spin-polarized electrons, magneto-optical Kerr effect, optical interferometry or other methods, or other methods/effects. The multifunctionality (crystallographic, magnetic, and shape states each representing a functionality) of the multi-state elements allows for simultaneous operations including read&write, sense&indicate, and sense&control. Embodiments of the invention may be used, for example, for storing, modifying, and accessing data for device, sensor, actuator, logic and memory applications. Embodiments may be particularly effective for non-volatile memory or other read&write, sense&indicate, and/or sense&control functions in computer or other applications; such simultaneous operation of two (or more) of said multiple functionalities open new pathways for miniaturization of devices.
