Ultrafast magnon-transistor at room temperature
  We study sequential tunneling of magnetic excitations in nonitinerant systems (either magnons or spinons) through triangular molecular magnets. It is known that the quantum state of such molecular magnets can be controlled by application of an electric- or a magnetic field. Here, we use this fact to control the flow of a spin current through the molecular magnet by electric- or magnetic means. This allows us to design a system that behaves as a magnon-transistor. We show how to combine three magnon-transistors to form a NAND-gate, and give several possible realizations of the latter, one of which could function at room temperature using transistors with a 11 ns switching time.
