Spin-transfer-driven nano-oscillators are equivalent to parametric resonators
arXiv:1408.2736 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.91.014411
Abstract
The equivalence between different physical systems permits us to transfer knowledge between them and to characterize the universal nature of their dynamics. We demonstrate that a nanopillar driven by a spin-transfer torque is equivalent to a rotating magnetic plate, which permits us to consider the nanopillar as a macroscopic system under a time-modulated injection of energy, that is, a simple parametric resonator. This equivalence allows us to characterize the phases diagram and to predict magnetic states and dynamical behaviors, such as solitons, stationary textures, and oscillatory localized states, among others. Numerical simulations confirm these predictions.
