Memory devices in which Abricosov vortices are used as information bits, have
been proposed in the end of 70’s for the first time [1]. Further improving did
not give an increasing of the fast write-in (read-out) operations
sufficiently. By employing an superconducting screens, the vortex can be
increasing to several times only that of the cell structure without them [2].
We have analyzed theoretically the memory cell based on the type-II vortex
phase transition with both the capacitor design and one used the
demagnetization effect that would be effective in the write-in current level.
In so doing, there are two current state stabled in the superconducting state.
Calculation show that the fast write-in operation may be reached approximately
by ~10-12 sec at the temperatures lower than the superconducting phase
transition one of high-Tc superconductors. We discuss the design and limiting
factors of these devices in view of their use as the operated memory cells in
the future computers.
