Taking advantage of nature for a greener nonvolatile memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Writing information onto nanoscale magnetic oscillators as magnetic bits presents many challenges, some of which become more formidable as we pursue higherdensity information storage. It is true that the electric current densities needed at present to rotate the magnetization direction are lower than those needed in traditional semiconductor devices, where information has to be constantly rewritten. However, the needed currents are still large, resulting in high-energy consumption and Joule heating during writing. Additionally, reducing the magnetic device size generally results in unwanted thermal fluctuations, which have to be overcome by employing high anisotropy material to keep the bit stable.

Two-Dimensional Simulation of Ferroelectric Nonvolatile Memory Cells
An approach to increase the capabilities of integrated circuit nonvolatile memory is to take advantage of the hysteresis in the polarization of ferroelectric materials. For a rigorous analysis of this and similar devices a suitable model for the ferroelectric effects has been developed. We describe this model and show the results of its implementation into a device simulator.

متن کاملAnisotropic modulation of magnetic properties and the memory effect in a wide-band (011)-Pr0.7Sr0.3MnO3/PMN-PT heterostructure
Memory effect of electric-field control on magnetic behavior in magnetoelectric composite heterostructures has been a topic of interest for a long time. Although the piezostrain and its transfer across the interface of ferroelectric/ferromagnetic films are known to be important in realizing magnetoelectric coupling, the underlying mechanism for nonvolatile modulation of magnetic behaviors remai...
