#ALGORITHMS: "Spintronics Can Now Be Simulated with SPICE"

Spintronics can now be simulated on the same SPICE tools already in every engineers toolbox, greatly accelerating the transition to magnetic spin instead of electrical charge as the coin of logic:R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


In field-effect devices, the absence or presence of charge is the state variable, but in spintronics electron spin is the state variable.


The differential equations of pin diffusion in a non-magnetic channel (left) can be represented by R-L-C components that can be simulated by SPICE (right).
