Abstract

Skyrmionic devices are promising candidates for energy efficient and highly integrated data storage and computing applications, owing to their small size, topological protection, and low drive current. In this abstract we propose novel spin orbit torque (SOT) controlled skyrmion device structures and their application in neuromorphic computing. We propose a spin orbit torque-driven SOT skyrmion magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device showing Leaky Integrate and Fire (LIF) neuron behaviour, and a SOT-controlled MTJ synaptic device in which the skyrmion size depends on the thickness of the free layer. Furthermore, we implement the spiking neural network and artificial neural network based on these devices for MNIST data classification.
