摘要
Spin-dependent tunnelling elements are widely studied due to their possible application in electronic devices. Here we focus on field programmable logic devices. We introduce the concepts and demonstrate experimentally the functionality of reprogrammable logic gates based on spin-dependent tunnelling elements. We further extend this demonstration to logic gates consisting of micron-sized tunnelling elements. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
