SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING MAGNETOELECTRIC JUNCTIONS

Embodiments of the technology implement DIOMEJ cells. In one embodiment, a DIOMEJ cell includes: an MEJ that includes, a ferromagnetic fixed layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, and a dielectric layer interposed between the fixed and free layers, where the fixed layer is magnetically polarized in a first direction, where the free layer has a first easy axis that is aligned with the first direction, and where the MEJ is configured such that when a potential difference is applied across it, the magnetic anisotropy of the free layer is altered such that the relative strength of the magnetic anisotropy along a second easy axis that is orthogonal to the first easy axis, as compared to the strength of the magnetic anisotropy along the first easy axis, is magnified for the duration of the application of the potential difference; and a diode, where the diode and the MEJ are arranged in series.
