Reduction of phase noise in nanowire spin orbit torque oscillators
Spin torque oscillators (STOs) are compact, tunable sources of microwave radiation that serve as a test bed for studies of nonlinear magnetization dynamics at the nanometer length scale. The spin torque in an STO can be created by spin-orbit interaction, but low spectral purity of the microwave signals generated by spin orbit torque oscillators hinders practical applications of these magnetic n...
متن کاملMeasurement of Oscillator Phase and Amplitude Noise at W-band
This paper describes a technique used to measure oscillator noise sidebands at 94GHz. It is extendible to other frequencies in the millimetre-wave band. Oscillator noise sidebands are particularly significant for Continuous Wave (CW) radars, where the sidebands of the transmit/receive leakage can degrade the system noise figure. Measuring oscillator noise is also a particular challenge at highe...
متن کاملNanowire spin torque oscillator driven by spin orbit torques.
Spin torque from spin current applied to a nanoscale region of a ferromagnet can act as negative magnetic damping and thereby excite self-oscillations of its magnetization. In contrast, spin torque uniformly applied to the magnetization of an extended ferromagnetic film does not generate self-oscillatory magnetic dynamics but leads to reduction of the saturation magnetization. Here we report st...
متن کاملImages of a spin-torque-driven magnetic nano-oscillator.
We present the first space- and time-resolved images of the spin-torque-induced steady-state oscillation of a magnetic vortex in a spin-valve nanostructure. We find that the vortex structure in a nanopillar is considerably more complicated than the 2D idealized structure often-assumed, which has important implications for the driving efficiency. The sense of the vortex gyration is uniquely dete...
متن کاملTime-resolved measurement of spin-transfer-driven ferromagnetic resonance and spin torque in magnetic tunnel junctions
The bias dependence of the torque that a spin-polarized current exerts on ferromagnetic elements is important for understanding fundamental spin physics in magnetic devices and for applications. Several experimental techniques have been introduced in recent years in attempts to measure spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions. However, these techniques have provided only indirect measu...
