The size of modern data centers is growing exponentially due to the rapid development of Big Data techniques, Internet of Things (IoT), and Bioinformatics. Magnetic storage technology has been proven to be the core platform for cloud computing and Big Data storage. All magnetic storage devices can be classified as either sequential-access memory or random-access memory. For instance, in order to read out one bit in magnetic tape, the tape should be wound and the reading head placed in contact with the desired bit (sequential access). In contrast, any bit in magneto-resistive random-access memory (MRAM) can be accessed immediately at any given time. Regardless of the access process, the existing magnetic memory devices, including magnetic tape, hard-disk drives, and MRAM inherit one fundamental restriction: they are based on the magneto-resistance effect, which limits the number of bits which can be read out at a time. In turn, this imposes time constraints for a large magnetic database search. This problem has stimulated search for alternative methods for magnetic bit read-out (e.g., multi-head multi-track magnetic memory). Overall, there is a great need for a novel technology for parallel magnetic bit read-out and processing. The project will also enhance the educational experience of undergraduate, graduate and underrepresented students by via mechanisms for including them in the project, and thereby contributing to the much-needed technological-workforce development.In this project, a new type of magnetic memory using spin waves for information read-out and processing will be developed. Spin waves — or magnons, the quanta of spin waves — represent the excitations of the electron spin subsystem in magnetically ordered media and are observed in ferro- and ferri-magnets, as well as in anti-ferromagnets. The coherence length of spin waves in ferrite structures may be as large as one centimeter at room temperature, allowing one to exploit spin wave interference. The operation of spin-wave devices is similar to optical-holographic devices, which use coherent optical beams for information retrieval. The uniqueness of the spin-wave approach is the ability to combine holographic logic units with magnetic memory. This project aims to explore the feasibility of using spin waves for parallel magnetic bit read-out, to investigate device immunity to structure imperfections, and to study a combination of magnonic and electronic circuits. The result of this transformative research will add to the core knowledge in the area of material science, signal processing, and computer engineering.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由于大数据技术，物联网（IoT）和生物信息学的快速发展，现代数据中心的规模呈指数增长。磁性存储技术已被证明是云计算和大数据存储的核心平台。所有磁性存储设备都可以归类为顺序访问存储器或随机访问存储器。例如，为了在磁带中读取一位，应缠绕胶带，并与所需的位（顺序访问）接触。相比之下，可以在任何给定时间立即访问磁性随机记忆（MRAM）中的任何位。无论访问过程如何，现有的磁性内存设备（包括磁带，硬盘驱动器和MRAM）继承了一个基本限制：它们基于磁耐药效应，这限制了一次可以读取的位数。反过来，这不可能用于大型磁性数据库搜索的时间限制。这个问题激发了寻找磁性读出的替代方法（例如，多头多轨磁性记忆）。总体而言，需要一项新技术来平行磁性位读出和处理。该项目还将通过将其包括在项目中的机制中来增强本科，研究生和代表性不足的学生的教育经验，从而为急需的技术 - 工作 - 工程发展开发做出了贡献。在该项目中，将开发一种新型的磁性记忆，使用用于信息读取和处理的新型磁性记忆。旋转波（或磁铁，自旋波的量子）代表磁性序列介质中电子自旋子系统的兴奋，并在铁人和费里 - 磁铁以及抗铁磁铁中观察到。铁氧体结构中自旋波的相干长度可能在室温下与一厘米一样大，从而探索旋转波干扰。自旋波器设备的操作类似于光学全能设备，该设备使用连贯的光束进行信息检索。自旋波方法的独特性是将全息逻辑单元与磁记忆相结合的能力。该项目旨在探索使用自旋波进行并行磁性位读出的可行性，研究设备免疫学以构建瑕疵，并研究磁性和电子电路的组合。这项变革性研究的结果将增加材料科学，信号处理和计算机工程领域的核心知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来审查标准，通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
