Thanks to the nonvolatile nature of magnetic tunnel junctions and the unique features of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, the modeled design does not require external memory to store weights and also consumes low static power. Also, due to the circuit structure, which did not use sequential parts, the developed circuit is immune to soft error. Because, in binary neural networks, weights are limited to two values of −1 and 1, the occurrence of soft errors dramatically reduces the accuracy of the network. Simulation results indicate that the design in this work consumes at least 9% lower power, occupies 34% lower area, and offers a 49% lower power delay area product. Also, Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to study the effect of the process variation on the network. The result of the Monte Carlo simulations shows that the proposed neuron has no logical error in 10 000 simulations. Consequently, the accuracy of the network utilization by the neuron is equal to the software-implemented network and does not decrease even in the presence of process variations.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67763006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers optimize single magnets for this purpose; however, magnetic arrays that are placed parallel to the vessel in order to increase the impact time of the magnetic force on the particles are also discussed. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the improvement by the increased impact time has not been studied in detail so far and, thus, will be addressed in this work. In this context, an artificial exponential magnetic field that approximates the field of a Halbach array and acts as an upper limit consideration is applied to different impact lengths within a predefined magnetic domain. To compare the impact of the field parameters, the total magnetic energetic effort is kept constant as a reference for studying variations of impact length. The results reveal that a longer impact length increases the attraction performance enormously. However, for the same magnetic effort, a longer impact length with a lower magnetic field strength leads to the same attraction of the particles as a shorter one with higher field strengths. Since it is easier to generate lower field strengths, the usage of arrays to realize a longer impact length is preferable.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We numerically analyzed the ac magnetization characteristics of the CMNP and the single-core MNP (SMNP) using the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. Owing to the magnetic dipole–dipole interaction, the magnetization of the CMNP is approximately 10 times that of the SMNP under a certain excitation field. MNPs with a chainlike structure are thus expected to have enhanced magnetization characteristics and better performance in medical applications. Additionally, it was found that stronger magnetization can be expected from a CMNP connecting 10 or more magnetic cores with a size of approximately 10–12 nm.","PeriodicalId":13040,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Magnetics Letters","volume":"14 ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67762119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
