As CMOS technology scales down toward below 2-digit nanometer dimensions, exponentially increasing leakage power, vulnerability to radiation induced soft errors have become a major problem in today’s logic circuits. Emerging spin-based logic circuits and architectures based on nonvolatile magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) cells show a great potential to overcome the aforementioned issues. However, radiation induced soft errors are still a problem in MTJ-based circuits as they need sequential peripheral CMOS circuits for sensing the MTJs. This paper proposes a novel nonvolatile and low-cost radiation hardened magnetic full adder (MFA). In comparison with the previous designs, the proposed MFA is capable of tolerating particle strikes regardless of the amount of charge induced to a single node and even multiple nodes. Besides, the proposed MFA offers low power operation, low area and high performance as compared with previous counterparts. One of the most important features suggested by the proposed MFA circuit is full nonvolatility. Nonvolatile logic circuits remove the cost of high volume data transactions between memory and logic and also facilitate power gating in logic-in-memory architectures.

Carbon and temperature effects on carbide formation in the carburized zone of M50NiL are of great importance because they can be used to control surface properties of bearings. A series of homogeneous alloys (with M50NiL as base composition) containing various levels of carbon in the range of 0.15% to 1.5% (in wt.%) and heat treated at temperatures between 650°C to 1100°C were selected for characterizations. Eleven samples were chosen for carbide characterization and chemical analysis and their identifications are listed in Table 1.Five different carbides consisting of M6C, M2C, M7C3 and M23C6 were found in all eleven samples examined as shown in Table 1. M6C carbides (with least carbon) were found to be the major carbide in low carbon alloys (<0.3% C) and their amounts decreased as the carbon content increased. In sample C (0.3% C), most particles (95%) encountered were M6C carbide with a particle sizes range between 0.05 to 0.25 um. The M6C carbide are enriched in both Mo and Fe and have a fee structure with lattice parameter a=1.105 nm (Figure 1).
