Scenarios and Principles for Antiferromagnetic Recording: taming spins coherently and ultrafast
Thermodynamics tells us that controlling the magnetic state of media at increasingly higher rates and simultaneously consuming less energy are mutually exclusive. This fundamental dilemma has dramatic societal and environmental consequences as data centres are rapidly becoming the biggest consumers of electricity world-wide. SPARTACUS proposes to resolve this fundamental dilemma and thereby to inspire conceptually new technology for ultrafast, nearly non-dissipative data storage. State-of-the-art data storage and non-volatile memory are predominantly based on ferromagnets. Antiferromagnets possess much faster spin dynamics and can sustain bits writing even at THz rates. However, the lack of…
