摘 要：In this dissertation, we focus on a subset of spin logic devices known as nanomagnetic logic.Using a variety of modeling techniques and experimental imaging techniques, weinvestigate the performance of these devices in terms of speed and reliability. We also useoptical techniques to investigate a spin-charge coupling mechanism known as the Spin HallEffect. This effect is a very power-efficient way to switch nanomagnets and has obviousapplications to both spin logic and memory.
