Abstract:
1. A nanomagnetic logic gate arranged on a substrate, comprising: at least one nanomagnetic first structure; at least one nanomagnetic second structure; and at least two layers comprising a first layer and a second layer, wherein the at least one first structure is arranged in the first layer on or parallel to a main surface of the substrate; wherein the at least one second structure is arranged in the second layer parallel to the first layer, the structures arranged in the first layer and the second layer being electrically insulated from one another by an insulating layer arranged between the first layer and the second layer; and wherein the at least one second structure comprises an artificial nucleation center arranged such that a magnetic field component essentially perpendicular to the main surface provided by the at least one first structure couples to the artificial nucleation center such that a magnetization of the second structure is changeable in response to the magnetic field component coupled into the artificial nucleation center, when a predetermined condition is fulfilled.
