"The quest for Spin Cascade Logic Circuits"

March 25, 2008

12:00 noon - 1:00 p.m. Grier Room 34-401


Abstract:

Can we design, build and operate nanometer-scale logic circuits that
perform conventional binary computation using only the spin degree of
freedom?  I will review progress towards this goal, highlighting the
development of spin excitation spectroscopy to measure g-values, exchange energies, anisotropy energies and spin configurations of assemblies of magnetic atoms on surfaces.
