R&D: Emerging NVM Technologies based Nano-oscillators, Materials to Applications

Journal of Applied Physics has published an article written by Manoj Kumar, School of Computation, Information and Technology, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany, and Manan Suri, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110016, India.

Abstract: “This comprehensive study provides a detailed review toward ongoing research on emerging non-volatile memory technologies based nano-oscillators, i.e., from the perspective of materials to applications. Depending on the materials used to fabricate them, the whole class of emerging nano-oscillators has been broadly classified into two categories: (i) electronic and (ii) spintronic oscillators. Moreover, various material-compositions explored for fabricating the oscillatory devices, their physical properties responsible for generating the oscillations, and device architectures are thoroughly reviewed. Furthermore, various advanced computing applications (i.e., realized through these oscillatory devices), such as Internet of Things, neuro-inspired computing, and sensing, are also studied and their key attributes are highlighted.“
