  Straintronic logic is a promising platform for beyond Moore's law computing.
Using Bennett clocking mechanism, information can propagate through an array of
strain-mediated multiferroic nanomagnets exploiting the dipolar coupling
between the magnets without having to physically interconnect them. Here we
perform a critical analysis of switching failures, i.e., error in information
propagation due to thermal fluctuations through a chain of such straintronic
devices. We solved stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation considering
room-temperature thermal perturbations and show that magnetization switching
may fail due to inherent magnetization dynamics accompanied by thermally
broadened switching delay distribution. Avenues available to circumvent such
issue are proposed.
