There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
The objective of this research is to develop models to better evaluate the performance and reliability characteristics of proposed spin-based boolean devices which utilize spin-transfer-torque (STT) and dipolar-coupling for successful operation. In addition, the nanomagnet thermal-stability is studied to better understand the reliability of spin-based systems. This research will focus on a particular spin-based logic technology called Spin-Spin Logic and while the end result of this research will be a comprehensive analysis of this technology, the models developed during this research are applicable to a variety of spin-based technologies.
