【Abstract】

Spintronics utilizes electric and magnetic properties of electrons simultaneously, exploring various technologies that are useful to realize low-carbon society. This presentation shows recent studies of nanoscale spintronics devices and discuss their potential to contribute to the carbon neutral. Nonvolatile spintronics devices that drastically reduce the required power for information processing at the edge and cloud and probabilistic spintronics devices that constitute quasi-quantum computers executing computationally hard problems at room temperature are presented.
