Abstract
The operations of read‐in, shifting, conditional erase, and fan‐out in a system of domain‐wall storage and logic proposed by Smith have been experimentally demonstrated. The several operations were performed by controlling the current flowing through a configuration of wires placed closely under a 5 to 40 mil wide, 50 to 300 A thick Permalloy strip, and the sequence of events was observed on the top side of the film using the Bitter technique. The basic wiring geometry was a narrow‐spaced grid of series‐connected parallel wires that made an angle of 50° to 75° with the strip of film, the smaller angles being necessary for the thinner films. Conditional erase was most successful in films below 100 A thick, as in this thickness range walls of the same sense form double walls which require relatively large fields for erasure.
