Abstract :
We are encountering tremendous opportunities and challenges in combining emerging nanotechnology for developing nanoelectronic devices. Researchers are designing nanoelectronic circuits based on newly discovered nanoscale building blocks, such as spintronic devices. In this paper, we calculate conductance in spintronic gates using the nonequilibrium Green\´s function and show useful operations for "multiterminal" logic gates. These spintronic devices can be used to design complicated spin circuits
