Claim 23:
24. A spintronic device, comprising:
a bottom lead,
a first layer disposed over the bottom lead, the first layer having a Seebeck coefficient, wherein the first layer is tapered such that a first surface of the first layer has a width that is shorter than a second width of a second surface of the first layer, the second surface opposite the first surface, and the first surface adjacent to the spintronic device;
a spintronic oscillator (STO) disposed over the first layer, the spintronic oscillator having a width of about 10 nm to about 100 nm;
a second layer disposed over the STO, the second layer having a Seebeck coefficient, the Seebeck coefficient of the second layer being different from the Seebeck coefficient of the first layer; and
a top lead disposed over the second layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are positioned about the STO such that electrons flow from the layer having a higher Seebeck coefficient to the layer having a lower Seebeck coefficient when a current is applied to the spintronic device.
