Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Spin transistors based on voltage-controlled magnon transport in multiferroic antiferromagnets." This invention provides methods for using voltage-controlled spin field effect transistors, also known as spin transistors, in switching applications. In these devices, spin current is transported from a spin injection contact to a spin detection contact through a multiferroic antiferromagnetic channel via magnon propagation. The transport of spin current is modulated by applying a gate voltage, which increases the number of domain boundaries in the multiferroic antiferromagnetic material.
Another notable patent is "Non-collinear antiferromagnets for high density and low power spintronics devices." This invention presents spintronic devices based on metallic antiferromagnets with a non-collinear spin structure. The devices utilize a bilayer structure that includes a spin torque layer of an antiferromagnetic material with a non-collinear triangular spin structure, which adjoins a layer of ferromagnetic material.
