Terahertz electrical writing speed in an antiferromagnetic memory

Text

We introduced a new type of memory based on antiferromagnets that enables writing information using picosecond electric pulses. This involves a thousand times faster data storage than in the existing memories. Additionally, our memory exhibits multi-level memristor behaviour, which, apart from the use in any conventional digital electronics, may offer application in artificial neuron networks.
