A magnetic logic element for a logic device is described formed by at least
one conduit capable of sustaining and propagating a magnetic soliton, the
conduit being adapted by the provision of nodes and/or directional changes
giving rise to discontinuities in soliton propagation energy as a result
of which logical functions may be processed. Magnetic logic devices such
as interconnects and gates, and magnetic logic circuits incorporating such
devices and suitable operational fields, are also described.
