摘要
The field-coupled QCA architecture has emerged as a candidate for providing local interconnectivity for nanodevices, and offers the possibility to perform very dense, high speed, and low power computing in an altogether new paradigm. Magnetic interactions between nanomagnets are sufficiently strong to allow room-temperature operation. We are investigating the fabrication and testing of arrays of nanomagnets for this purpose, and have found that by tailoring their shapes, strong coupling can be observed. This paper will present recent work of the Notre Dame group on magnetically coupled QCA. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
