2.1 Introduction

Spintronic devices are regarded as next-generation microelectronic devices due to their low energy dissipation, non-volatility, high speed, and potential for pure spin current transport. They are used to mimic brain-inspired artificial synapses and neurons. A number of different proposals for spintronic neuromorphic implementations exist. ...
