Abstract
A phase diagram of the magnetization dynamics is studied by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation in a spin torque oscillator consisting of asymmetric two free layers that are magnetized in in-plane direction. We calculated the dynamics for a wide range of current density for both low and high field cases, and found many dynamical phases such as synchronization, auto-oscillation with different frequencies, and chaotic dynamics. The observation of the synchronization indicates the presence of a dynamical phase which has not been found experimentally by using the conventional electrical detection method. The auto-oscillations with different frequencies lead to an oscillation of magnetoresistance with a high frequency, which can be measured experimentally. The chaotic and/or periodic behavior of magnetoresistance in a high current region, on the other hand, leads to a discontinuous change of the peak frequency in Fourier spectrum.
