Strong linewidth variation for spin-torque nano-oscillators as a function of in-plane magnetic field angle
arXiv:0803.2871 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.024409
Abstract
We measure the microwave signals produced by spin-torque-driven magnetization dynamics in patterned magnetic multilayer devices at room temperature, as a function of the angle of a magnetic field applied in the sample plane. We find strong variations in the frequency linewidth of the signals, with a decrease by more than a factor of 20 as the field is rotated from the magnetic easy axis to the in-plane hard axis. Based on micromagnetic simulations, we identify these variations as due to a transition from spatially incoherent to coherent precession.
