They are promising building blocks for the next generation of magnetic storage and computing devices with ultra-low energy and ultra-high density.Here, we theoretically investigate the motion of a skyrmion in an SAF bilayer racetrack and find the velocity of a skyrmion can be controlled jointly by the edge effect and the driving force induced by the spin current. Furthermore, we propose a logic gate that can realize different logic functions of logic AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XOR gates. Several effects including the spin–orbit torque, the skyrmion Hall effect, skyrmion–skyrmion repulsion, and skyrmion–edge interaction are considered in this design. Our work may provide a way to utilize the SAF skyrmion as a versatile information carrier for future energy-efficient logic gates.展开更多

In this scheme, the two logical states of the qubit are represented by the two lowest levels of the SQUID, and the cavity fields are treated as quantized. Compared with the previous method, the complex procedures of adjusting tile level spacing of the SQUID and applying the resonant microwave pulse to the SQUID to create transformation are not required. Based on superconducting device with relatively long decoherence time and simplified operation procedure, the gates operate at a high speed, which is important in view of decoherence.展开更多

Supramolecular AND logic gate is turned on due to acid-triggered degradation of molecular container and the release of the dye, followed by Na Cl O-induced fluorescence “switch on” effect of the dye. The reason for AND molecular logic gate is discovered to be the combination of oxidation inhibition and fluorescence “switch off” effect.

In this paper, we propose a structure for AND, NAND, XNOR and NOR logic gates in the two dimensional photonic crystal which utilizes the dispersion based self-collimation effect. The self-collimated beam is splitted by the line defect and interfered with other self-collimated beam. This interference may be constructive or destructive based on their phase difference. This phenomenon is employed to realize all-optical logic gates. The gates are demonstrated numerically by computing electromagnetic field distribution using the finite difference time domain （FDTD） method. The results ensure that this design can function as AND, NAND, XNOR and NOR logic gates. The size of the structure is about 10 μm× 10 μm which in turn results in an increase in the speed and all the gates are realized in the same configuration. The ON-OFF contrast ratio is about 6 dB.展开更多

In this article, we show the interaction between light and boron nanosheets in which concentric rings formed in the far field, which attributed to the strong Kerr nonlinearity of boron nanosheets. Furthermore, the distortion, regulation and relationship between the Kerr nonlinearity and effective mass or carrier mobility of the diffraction rings of boron nanosheets have been investigated.Our work shows that the spatial self-phase modulation effect of boron nanosheets is indeed caused by nonlocal electronic coherence. In addition, we have implemented all-light modulation and all-light logic gates based on the prepared boron nanosheets. We believe that our results will provide a powerful demonstration of nonlinear photonic devices based on boron nanosheets and a reference for photonic devices based on two-dimensional materials.展开更多

文摘We demonstrate an all-optical reconfigurable logic gate based on dominant nonlinear polarization rotation accompanied with cross-gain modulation effect in a single semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）.Five logic functions,including NOT,OR,NOR,AND,and NAND,are realized using 10-Gb/s on-off keying signals with flexible wavelength tunability.The operation principle is explained in detail.By adjusting polarization controllers,multiple logic functions corresponding to different input polarization states are separately achieved using a single SOA with high flexibility.
文摘Optical logic gates are elementary components for optical network and optical computing. In this paper, we propose a structure for AND, NAND, XNOR and NOR logic gates in the two dimensional photonic crystal which utilizes the dispersion based self-collimation effect. The self-collimated beam is splitted by the line defect and interfered with other self-collimated beam. This interference may be constructive or destructive based on their phase difference. This phenomenon is employed to realize all-optical logic gates. The gates are demonstrated numerically by computing electromagnetic field distribution using the finite difference time domain （FDTD） method. The results ensure that this design can function as AND, NAND, XNOR and NOR logic gates. The size of the structure is about 10 μm× 10 μm which in turn results in an increase in the speed and all the gates are realized in the same configuration. The ON-OFF contrast ratio is about 6 dB.

文摘We have studied a function-lock strategy for all-optical logic gate （AOLG） utilizing the cross-polarization modulation （CPM） effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier （SOA）. By monitoring the power of logic light, the strategy realized controllable methods to capture OR and NOR functions and switch between them. The strategy has been successfully applied in experiment with 10-Gb/s not-return-to-zero （NRZ） signals, which has a high success-rate above 95% and ensures the high extinction ratio of result light above 11.4 dB. Every step in the strategy has definite numeric evaluation, which provides the potential of automatic implementation.

文摘The atomristor(monolayer two-dimensional(2D)-material memristor)is competitive in high-speed logic computing due to its binary feature,lower energy consumption,faster switch response,and so on.Yet to date,all-atomristor logic gates used for logic computing have not been reported due to the poor consistency of different atomristors in performance.Here,by studying band structures and electron transport properties of MoS2 atomristor,a comprehensive memristive mechanism is obtained.Guided by the simulation results,monolayer MoS2 with moderated defect concentration has been fabricated in the experiment,which can build atomristors with high performance and good consistency.Based on this,for the first time,MoS2 all-atomristor logic gates are realized successfully.As a demonstration,a half-adder based on the logic gates and a binary neural network(BNN)based on crossbar arrays are evaluated,indicating the applicability in various logic computing circumstances.Owing to shorter transition time and lower energy consumption,all-atomristor logic gates will open many new opportunities for next-generation logic computing and data processing.

文摘Boron nanosheets possess unique photoelectric properties, including photosensitivity, photoresponse,and optical nonlinearity. In this article, we show the interaction between light and boron nanosheets in which concentric rings formed in the far field, which attributed to the strong Kerr nonlinearity of boron nanosheets. Furthermore, the distortion, regulation and relationship between the Kerr nonlinearity and effective mass or carrier mobility of the diffraction rings of boron nanosheets have been investigated.Our work shows that the spatial self-phase modulation effect of boron nanosheets is indeed caused by nonlocal electronic coherence. In addition, we have implemented all-light modulation and all-light logic gates based on the prepared boron nanosheets. We believe that our results will provide a powerful demonstration of nonlinear photonic devices based on boron nanosheets and a reference for photonic devices based on two-dimensional materials.
