Abstract:
1. A spin field effect logic device comprising: a channel including a magnetic material configured to selectively transmit spin-polarized electrons; a source on the channel; a gate electrode on the channel; a drain electrode configured to output electrons transmitted from the source; an output electrode configured to output electrons transmitted from the source; a first voltage source connected to the drain; a second channel on the channel, the drain on the second channel; and a second gate electrode on the second channel, wherein the source is on the channel, the output electrode is connected between the drain and the first voltage source, the source and the drain are magnetized in a first direction, the gate and the second gate electrodes are configured to control a magnetization state of the channel and the second channel respectively, in order to selectively transmit electrons injected from the source into the channel, and the channel and the second channel transmit the spin-polarized electrons which are magnetized in a second direction, and wherein the logic device is configured such that when at least one of the channel and the second channel is magnetized in the second direction, a resistance between the source and the output electrode is a first resistance, when both the channel and the second channel are magnetized in the first direction, the resistance is a second resistance, and a resistance between the first voltage source and the output electrode is a third resistance having a magnitude between that of the first resistance and the second resistance.
