Abstract
In one aspect, a nonvolatile magnetic logic device comprises an electrically insulating layer, a write path, and a read path. The write path comprises a plurality of write path terminals and a magnetic layer having a uniform magnetization direction that is indicative of a direction of magnetization of the magnetic layer in a steady state. A logic state is written to the nonvolatile magnetic logic device by passing a current through the plurality of write path terminals. The read path comprises a plurality of read path terminals for evaluation of the logic state. The electrically insulating layer promotes electrical isolation between the read path and the write path and magnetic coupling of the read path to the write path.
