Magnetoelectric spin-orbit logic (MESO) devices comprise a magnetoelectric switch capacitor coupled to a spin-orbit coupling structure. The logic state of the MESO device is represented by the magnetization orientation of the ferromagnet of the magnetoelectric switch capacitor and the spin-orbit coupling structure converts the magnetization orientation of the ferromagnet to an output current. MESO devices in which all or at least some of the constituent layers of the device are perovskite materials can provide advantages such as improved control over the manufacturing of MESO devices and high quality interfaces between MESO layers due to the lattice matching of perovskite materials.
