Nanomagnetic logic has emerged as a promising alternative to transistor based logic because it offers both non-volatility and energy-efficiency. Recent experiments by Bhowmik et al. [1] demonstrate energy-efficient magnetization switching in nanomagnets using the Spin Hall effect. Another switching paradigm claiming unprecedented energy-efficiency involves magnetization switching of the nanomagnets via “straintronics” [2], whereby the magnetization of a multiferroic magnet is switched with a tiny voltage generating strain in a magnetostrictive-piezoelectric composite (Fig. 1a). This scheme, proposed by our group, was previously shown to reduce the energy dissipated per bit flip to a few hundred kT at room temperature [2-4].
