A majority gate for two-dimensional ferromagnets lacking inversion symmetry
arXiv:2103.12004 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.3.023225
Abstract
The manipulation of topologically protected field configurations, already predicted and experimentally observed in non-centrosymmetric magnets, as skyrmions, merons and antimerons could definitely have potential applications in logic gate operations as carriers of information. Here, we present and elaborate a proof of concept on how to construct a three-input non-canonical majority gate on a kagome ferromagnet lacking inversion symmetry. By taking advantage of the existence of edge modes in a Kagome magnet, it is possible to create topological excitations as merons and antimerons at the edge of the material. Using atomistic spin dynamics simulations, we determine the precise physical conditions for the creation and annihilation of merons and antimerons and, in a second stage, we describe the majority gate functionality.
