Outline of Research at the Start

New information processing techniques are needed for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The spintronic-based reservoir computing (RC) have many merits compared to other PRC systems: the compatibility with semiconductor large-scale integration, long endurance, and sensing capability. State variables of ferro- and
antiferro-magnetism in spintronic devices offer a strong advantage for nonlinear dynamics, non-volatility, and low-power operation. Additionally, magnetic spintronic sensors can directly interface with many applications from automotive to biomedical domains.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

On the way to realizing the "Sensoron", fusing sensing and computation, we succeeded in demonstrating the possibility of computing capacity in magnetic sensors based on tunneling magnetoresistance effect.
We proved that topological features called vortex cores exists in the sensing region of magnetic TMR sensors. These cores exhibit chaotic dynamics and rapid core reversals during their response to magnetic field changes. The presence of highly-nonlinear dynamics of the topological vortex cores provide computing capacity to the temporal magnetic field inputs, and they can be used to perform time-dependent simple signal processing.
We also succeded in characterizing the lossy dynamics of magnetic sensing layers. We developed a novel magnetic measurement method based on modulating the response of vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). We could measure the complex magnetic ac susceptibility of sensor components for the first time. We used this method to characterize the response of domain walls to external field perturbations. We showed the dynamic losses are a signature of a short-term memory effect from domain walls.
These achievements have been published in international conferences and journals, and they generated a strong interest from industrial and academic magnetics community.
