Abstract
Illustrative embodiments of all-spin logic devices, circuits, and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, an all-spin logic device may include a first nanomagnet, a second nanomagnet, and a spin-coherent channel extending between the first and second nanomagnets. The spin-coherent channel may be configured to conduct a spin current from the first nanomagnet to the second nanomagnet to determine a state of the second nanomagnet in response to a state of the first nanomagnet.
