Circuit Simulation of Magnetization Dynamics and Spin Transport

Abstract

In this paper, compact circuit models for spintronic devices have been developed by manipulating the underlying physical equations. We have simulated, via circuit simulation: 1) the magnetization dynamics governed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation and 2) the spin transport physics governed by the spin drift-diffusion equation. The models have been validated using numerical and analytical solutions of the LLG equation and the spin drift-diffusion equations, respectively. Simulations of an all-spin logic device demonstrate the applications of the developed models in device and circuit simulation.
