Abstract

We investigate power dissipation phenomena in individual and coupled nanoscale magnets using micromagnetic simulations. We demonstrate that nanomagnet dots pumped with slowly varying external fields can dissipate as small as a few-ten millielectronvolts of energy per switching. This makes coupled nanomagnets promising candidates for realizing low-power computing devices.
