Abstract
A magnetic transistor circuit has a first and a second magnetic transistor. These two magnetic transistors that work as the ordinary transistors can be turned on or turned off by the control of several metal devices respectively disposed around the magnetic transistors. The buffer and inverter logic functions of the binary system can be implemented by the control of these metal devices.
