Magnetoelectronic latching Boolean gate
We present a magnetoelectronic device family with the unique characteristic that the "family" is composed of a single device that can perform any of several Boolean functions, with the function dynamically determined during the operation by the manner in which the device is addressed. As the device operates in a latching mode, it also performs a nonvolatile storage function. Integration of logic and memory is achieved, so that memory and processing functions can be dynamically apportioned.
