Emergent Domain Wall Behaviour In Interconnected Nano Ring Arrays

Research Theme | Magnetism in Nanostructures and Mesostructures | Spintronic Computing @ Sheffield

This project investigates emergence arising from domain wall interactions at junctions between connected nano rings. The DW population of arrays can be analytically modelled against the probability of interactions occurring. Methods to measure the magnetisation of the array (itself linked to domain wall population) are used to experimentally interrogate the population as interaction probability variables are changed.

It is hoped that emergent behaviour could be harnessed for non-Von Neumann computing methods, such as reservoir computing.

This activity is linked to the SpinEngine and MARCH projects.
