Traditional electronics are based on the charge property of electrons, and people realize information storage and logic processing through control of the charge of electrons. However, as electronic devices are increasingly miniaturized, the effects of quantum effects, energy loss, etc. are more and more apparent, and conventional electronic devices have failed to meet the needs of development.

Spin-orbit coupling can utilize the torque generated by the spin-orbit coupling to realize the control of magnetic moment, and can realize spin-flip control under small size without generating spin-polarized current by means of specific magnetic materials.

The invention may be embodied in various forms, some examples of which are described below.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a logic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, a logic device 100 includes: the device comprises a substrate 110, a heavy metal layer 120, a ferromagnetic layer 130, a multiferroic layer 140 and an oxide layer 150, wherein the heavy metal layer 120 comprises a cross structure, and a corresponding electrode is arranged at the outer side end of the cross structure.
The whole structure is formed by stacking the substrate 110, the heavy metal layer 120, the ferromagnetic layer 130, the multiferroic layer 140 and the oxide layer 150 in sequence from bottom to top, wherein the heavy metal layer 120, the ferromagnetic layer 130, the multiferroic layer 140 and the oxide layer 150 are all in a film shape.
The substrate 110 may be made of Polyethersulfone (PES), polyethylene terephthalate (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polypropylene hexamethylene (polypropyleneadipate, PPA), mica (Mica), and the like, to realize a flexible substrate.
The heavy metal layer 120 may be made of Pt, W, ta, etc., and is formed into a cross structure by photolithography and etching, and a corresponding electrode is disposed at an outer end of the cross structure for electrical connection and measurement, and the thickness of the heavy metal layer is about 3nm to 10nm.
The ferromagnetic layer 130 may be made of CoFeB, coFe, niFe, feCrCo, feCoV a or the like and may have a thickness of about 1nm to about 30nm.
The multiferroic layer 140 is made of at least one material, such as BiFeO3、GaFeO3、BiCrO3、TbMnO3、Bi2FeCrO6、BiMnO3、HoMn2O5、HoMn2O5、YbMn2O5、ScMn2O5、YMn2O5、GaMn2O5、DyMn2O5、ErMn2O5、HoMnO3、YbMnO3、ScMnO3、YMnO3、GaMnO3、DyMnO3、ErMnO3 a, and has a thickness of about 2nm to about 200nm.
The oxide layer 150 may be made of AlO X、SiOX、MgOX (Al oxide, si oxide, mg oxide) or the like, wherein the value of X may be determined according to the oxidation state (peroxidized or underoxidized) of the corresponding oxide layer, and the thickness of the oxide layer 150 may be about 1nm to about 10nm.
Fig. 2 is a top view of a heavy metal layer of a logic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, a heavy metal layer 120 is located on a substrate 110, and a cross structure (hall bar structure) is formed by performing photolithography and etching treatment on the heavy metal layer 120.
Specifically, a single cross structure may be formed, or a double cross structure may be formed as shown in series, with corresponding electrodes 161 (162, 163) provided at the outer ends of the cross structure for electrical connection and measurement. The leftmost electrode 161 in the transverse direction is, for example, an input electrode, the rightmost electrode 162 on the opposite side to the electrode 161 is grounded, the other group of longitudinal electrodes 163 perpendicular to the transverse electrodes 161, 162 in the cross structure is, for example, an output electrode, for example, a rectangular pulse current I is input to the electrode 161, and an output signal is obtained by detecting an abnormal hall voltage of the electrode 163.
Fig. 3 is a schematic measurement diagram of a logic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, an input current I, for example, a rectangular pulse is connected to one end of the heavy metal layer 120, the other end of the heavy metal layer 120 is grounded, and an input voltage V is applied to the oxide layer 150, so that a potential difference is formed between the oxide layer 150 and the heavy metal layer 120, and an electric field is regulated.
In particular, oxide interfaces have a large effect on spin-orbit coupling, and different degrees of oxidation can change the polarity of the electric field effect on magnetic anisotropy. By varying the degree of oxidation of the oxide layer 150 (the degree of oxidation of the multiferroic interface), the spin-orbit coupling signal can be effectively modulated. The magnetic anisotropy effect is changed by changing the oxidation state of the oxide layer 150 (at the interface of the multiferroic layer 140 and the oxide layer 150). For the under-oxidized oxide layer 150 (under-oxidized interface), the forward voltage reduces the magnetic anisotropy; the opposite is true for the peroxo oxide layer 150 (peroxo interface), the forward voltage enhances the magnetic anisotropy. This dependence of the magnetic anisotropy effect on voltage allows us to form different kinds of logic devices (i.e., n-type or p-type spin logic devices) by controlling the oxidation state of the oxide layer 150, and further to realize the complementary functions of the logic devices by combining the two spin logic devices.
Further, referring to fig. 2, an input current I is connected to an electrode 161 at an outer end of the cross structure of the heavy metal layer 120, the electrode 162 is grounded, the electrode 163 is used as an output electrode, and an output signal of the logic device is obtained by detecting an abnormal hall voltage of the electrode 163.
Fig. 4a is an experimental characteristic diagram of a first embodiment of the logic device according to the present invention, in which the oxide layer 150 of the logic device according to the first embodiment is in a peroxidized state, specifically, the oxide layer 150 of the embodiment is made of an oxide of Al, the oxidation time t OX of Al is 120 seconds, and fig. 4a is an R xy -I curve of the logic device, in which the input voltage V of the oxide layer 150 can be changed between +3v and-3V, for example.
When the input voltage V is +3v or slightly greater than +3v, the spin orbit coupling critical flip current I 11 of the logic device of the first embodiment is 14mA, and when the input voltage V is less than or equal to-3V, the critical flip current I 21 is 11mA.
When the input current I is 12mA, the input current I is between the critical switching currents of spin orbit coupling corresponding to the two voltages. When v= +3v, the spin orbit coupling resistance signal R XY (output signal) does not flip with the change of direction of the input current I; when v= -3V, the spin-orbit coupling signal is flipped as the input current I changes direction, so the logic device of this first embodiment can be seen as a p-type spin logic device.
As can be seen from the characteristic diagram, the logic device of the first embodiment may be referred to as a p-type spin logic device by making the input current I be between the critical switching currents (i.e., I 21<I<I11) of the spin-orbit coupling corresponding to the two voltages, and when the input current I is greater than I 21 and less than I 11, the input current I is the normal operating current of the p-type logic device.
Further, as shown in connection with FIG. 3, since the resistor R xy reflects the component of the magnetic moment in the ferromagnetic layer 130 in the longitudinal z-direction, the magnetic moment of the ferromagnetic layer 130 in the logic device can be initialized with the external magnetic field such that the initial magnetic moment is oriented upward. Fig. 4b, a truth table of the logic device of the first embodiment in this initial state, obtains its output signal R p by detecting the abnormal hall voltage of the electrode 163 of the heavy metal layer 120 according to the direction (positive and negative) transition of the input current I and the input voltage V.
Fig. 5a is an experimental characteristic diagram of a second embodiment of the logic device according to the present invention, in which the oxide layer 150 of the logic device according to the second embodiment is in an underoxidized state, specifically, the oxide layer 150 in this embodiment is made of an oxide of Al, and the oxidation time t OX of Al is 30 seconds, for example, and fig. 5a is an R xy -I curve of the logic device, in which the input voltage V of the oxide layer 150 can be changed between +3v and-3V, for example.
When the input voltage V is +3v or slightly greater than +3v, the spin orbit coupling critical flip current I 12 of the logic device of the second embodiment is 11mA, and when the input voltage V is less than or equal to-3V, the critical flip current I 22 is 14mA.
When the input current I is 12mA, the input current I is between the critical switching currents of spin orbit coupling corresponding to the two voltages. When v= +3v, the spin orbit coupling resistance signal R XY (output signal) turns over as the input current I changes direction; when v= -3V, the spin-orbit coupling signal does not flip with the change of direction of the input current I, so the logic device of this second embodiment can be seen as an n-type spin logic device.
As can be seen from the characteristic diagram, the logic device of the first embodiment may be referred to as a p-type spin logic device by making the input current I be between the critical switching currents of the spin orbit coupling corresponding to the two voltages (i.e., I 12<I<I22), and when the input current I is greater than I 12 and less than I 22, the input current I is the normal operating current of the n-type logic device.
Likewise, the initial magnetic moment of the ferromagnetic layer 130 in the logic device of this second embodiment is oriented upward. Fig. 5b, a truth table for the logic device of the second embodiment in this initial state, obtains its output signal R n by detecting the abnormal hall voltage of the electrode 163 of the heavy metal layer 120 according to the direction (positive and negative) transition of the input current I and the input voltage V.
