Abstract :
We report local control of nanomagnets that can be arranged to perform computation in a cellular automata-like architecture. This letter represents the first demonstration of deterministically placed quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) devices (of any implementation), where devices are controlled by on-chip local fields.
