Base elements for superconducting artificial neural network

Abstract

We present results of our design and investigation of superconducting spin-valves and superconducting synapse, based on layered hybrid structures superconductor-ferromagnet. Results of our theoretical and experimental study of the proximity effect in a stack-like superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) superlattice with Co- ferromagnetic layers of different thicknesses and coercive fields, and Nb-superconducting layers of constant thickness equal to coherence length of niobium, are presented.
