Abstract:
1. A hybrid magnetoelectronic spin-based memory cell comprising: a memory element configured to transport a current of spin polarized electrons including: i) a first ferromagnetic layer with a first magnetization state; ii) a second ferromagnetic layer with a second magnetization state; wherein a data value stored in the hybrid magnetoelectronic spin-based memory cell can be determined by measuring a magnitude of said current of spin polarized electrons, which current of spin polarized electrons varies in accordance with a relationship between said first magnetization state and said second magnetization state; iii) a pair of write lines inductively coupled to said memory element, which pair of write lines carry a pair of respective current write signals adapted to change said first magnetization state and alter said data value.
