A magnetic logic gate (MLG), which is based on magnetic quantum dot cellular automata (MQCA), is capable of NAND/NOR logical operations. Here, we demonstrate that a single MLG can perform NAND/NOR logical operation by changing the binary state of the input dots in a single structure with a canted clock-field. To write digital information into the dots, we developed a magnetization manipulation method based on magnetic force microscopy. By using the canted clock-field from two general write wires in magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), we would locally activate the logical operation. MLG-MRAM will open the way to create high functional circuits based on MQCA.
