Recently, the giant spin-hall effect (GSHE) as a phenomenon that occurs in metals with large atomic weights has raised significant attention in magnetic memory and logic development. More specific, in metals with large atomic weights, electrons with different spins are deflected in different sideways directions. Consequently, applying a charge current can generate a flow of spin angular momentum transverse to the charge flow. The objective of this project includes developing the GSHE device model based on the measurement data provided by Qualcomm Inc. and investigating the new memory and logic design by leveraging the new device.
