Abstract:
1. A thin film hybrid magnetoelectronic spin-based memory cell comprising: i) a first thin film ferromagnetic layer with a first changeable magnetization state that can be altered to store a data value; wherein said first thin film ferromagnetic layer is coupled to a first electrode; ii) a second thin film ferromagnetic layer with a second non-changeable magnetization state; wherein said second thin film ferromagnetic layer is coupled to a second electrode; iii) a third thin film layer which is less than 1 micron in thickness and is situated between said first thin film ferromagnetic layer and said second thin film ferromagnetic layer, said third thin film layer comprising a low transmission barrier material with electron bands that are not significantly affected by an electron spin;
