Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the characteristics of hybrid conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor/magnetic tunnel junction (CMOS/MTJ) logic gates based on spin transfer torque (STT) and differential spin Hall effect (DSHE) magnetic random access memory (MRAM). Design/methodology/approach Spintronics technology can be used as an alternative to CMOS technology as it is having comparatively low power dissipation, non-volatility, high density and high endurance. MTJ is the basic spin based device that stores data in form of electron spin instead of charge. Two mechanisms, namely, STT and SHE, are used to switch the magnetization of MTJ. Findings It is observed that the power consumption in DSHE based logic gates is 95.6% less than the STT based gates. DSHE-based write circuit consumes only 5.28 fJ energy per bit. Originality/value This paper describes how the DSHE-MRAM is more effective for implementing logic circuits in comparison to STT-MRAM.

Spin transport and distribution of spin accumulation in CuPt/Fe heterostructure are numerically investigated, using linearized Levy-Fert model. It was shown that Spin Hall Effect in CuPt layer produces non-equilibrium spin accumulation in adjacent ferromagnetic layer. Spin accumulation vector is not collinear with the direction of magnetization in ferromagnetic layer which leads to the appearance of spin transfer torque. The absolute values and angular dependence of this torque were calculated and it was demonstrated that for the current the values of torques are sufficient for manipulation of magnetization of ferromagnetic layer.
