In the big data era, data storage is one of the cores of the information chain from production to processing, sharing, and application. To promote and develop information technology, performance of data storage devices and systems should be increased. The recording density of memories has largely increased in recent years because of the rapid development of nanotechnology. A minimum feature size of optical, magnetic, and electrical memories is already at the nanometer scale.
