Bias-Field-Free Spin-Torque Oscillator Based on Two MgO-MTJs with a Shared Free Layer: Micromagnetic Modeling
New types of spintronics devices utilizing all-electrical magnetization manipulation by current, such as spin-torque transfer RAM and spin-torque oscillators, have been developed based on MgO magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) [1]. Spin-torque oscillators based on MTJs with in-plane magnetization [2] show high frequency capabilities, but still need an external magnetic field and are characterized...

New types of spintronics devices utilizing all-electrical magnetization manipulation by current, such as spin-torque transfer RAM and spin-torque oscillators, have been developed based on MgO magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a large magneto-resistance ratio [1]. Spin-torque oscillators based on a single MTJ with in-plane magnetization [2] show high frequency capabilities, but still need an...
متن کاملThe Transient Behavior of LC and Ring Oscillators under External Frequency Injection
In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...
متن کاملPhase-Lock Requirements in a Serial Array of Spin Transfer Nano-Oscillators
The most promising approach to attain a narrow linewidth and a large output power simultaneously in spin torque oscillators is self-phase-locking of an array of oscillators. Two long range coupling mechanisms, magnetostatic interaction and self-induced current, are explored. Synchronization occurs with MR ratio ~ 14% and volume ~ 2.1 × 10(-5) μm(3) at room temperature for an experimental freque...
متن کاملSpin Transfer Torque Driven Coupled Oscillators for Self-Oscillating Radio- Frequency Mixers
magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices are emerging as a possible replacement for complementary metal-oxide semiconductors for radio-frequency (RF) signal generation. Advantages include low power consumption, small device area, and large frequency tunability. This paper shows that single devices cannot achieve the necessary noise performance for RF applications. Various coupling mechanisms are ...
