Here, we show how arrays of spin-torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) can be used to create anisotropic spin-wave interference patterns, which can be used for information processing. We consider STNO arrays contacting a thin ferromagnetic film. Contacts to the film (including the STNOs themselves) can be used to detect the spin-waves and then, when coupled to a simple circuit, can create new excitation patterns. The propagating spin-wave patterns can be generated by pulsing transponders. Arrangements of transponders create resonant (reverberating) spin-wave activity-that may be the basis of polychronous wave computation of the arithmetic and Boolean functions as well as information storage4 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Institute of Physics , 2011AnisotropiaOscil·ladors elèctricsMagnetismeMaterials magnèticsAnisotropyElectric oscillatorsMagnetismMagnetic materialsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6995702020-05-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
