Abstract :
This paper looks at circuits and systems made from nanoscale magnets. We leverage physical level simulation to show how to extend initial experimental work - where wires and gates with nanometer feature sizes have been demonstrated at room temperature - to show how one might make design tradeoffs to improve both the performance and reliability of more complex systems.
