We present a modulated microwave approach for quantum computing with qubits comprising three spins in a triple quantum dot. This approach includes single- and two-qubit gates that are protected against low-frequency electrical noise, due to an operating

We introduce a solid-state qubit in which exchange interactions among confined electrons provide both the static longitudinal field and the oscillatory transverse field, allowing rapid and full qubit control via rf gate-voltage pulses. We demonstrate two

If Josephson and spintronic technologies can be successfully integrated to produce a cryogenic memory that can be controlled with single-flux quantum pulses, then they may enable ultra-low-power, high-speed computing. We have developed hybrid Josephson

We quantitatively compare film-level ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements to device-level FMR measurements on magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) thin films with in-plane magnetization using both thermal FMR (T-FMR) and field-swept spin torque FMR
We use broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction to investigate the fundamental origin of perpendicular anisotropy in Co 90Fe 10/Ni multilayers. By careful evaluation of the spectroscopic g-factor, we determine the orbital moment

Spin transfer nano-oscillators are small multilayer magnetic devices that undergo microwave oscillations and output a microwave voltage when a bias current is applied. The oscillation frequency is tunable, over a range of 0.5 GHz to 225 GHz, by varying the

We present the observation of magnetoresistance in Co/Ca/Alq3/Ca/NiFe spin-valve devices. Thin Ca layers contacting 150 nm thick Alq3 enable the injection of spin-polarized electrons into Alq3 due to engineering of the band alignment. The devices exhibit

We have measured spin-torque-driven oscillations of Ni80Fe20 free-layer nanocontacts as a function of field direction. For a given field axis angle (10◦ from the surface normal) and magnitude, simply changing the field polarity can significantly alter the
We propose a multilayer structure that allows a reduced switching current with maintaining high thermal stability of the magnetization. It consists of a perpendicular polarizer, a perpendicular free-layer, and an additional free-layer having in-plane

We study theoretically current-induced dynamics of a transverse magnetic domain wall in bi-layer nanowires consisting of a ferromagnet on top of a nonmagnet having strong spin-orbit coupling. Domain wall dynamics is characterized by two threshold current

Thin ferromagnetic layers with broken structural inversion symmetry are subject to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We examine effects of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling on conduction electron spin dynamics and find that the electric current flowing along

We report on electron spin transport through electrochemically precipitated copper filaments formed in TaOX memristive devices consisting of Co(60nm)/TaOX(16nm)/Cu(5nm)/Py(60nm) with crossbar-type electrode geometry.The devices show memristive behavior

The neutralization energy of highly charged ions (HCIs) is used as an intermediate processing step to modify the electrical properties of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), providing an additional degree of freedom in the devices fabrication. While most
