Experimental Test of Analytic Theory of Spin Torque Oscillator Dynamics

Abstract

We make measurements of power spectral density of the microwave voltage emitted by a spin torque nano-oscillator (STNO) and compare our experimental results to predictions of an analytic theory of a single-mode STNO dynamics by V. S. Tiberkevich, A. N. Slavin, J. V. Kim,[Phys. Rev. B 78, 092401 (2008)]. We find that a complete set of the oscillator spectral properties: power, frequency, spectral line width and line shape as functions of current are self-consistently described by the analytic theory for moderate amplitudes of oscillations (< 70 degrees).
