Voltage-input spintronic oscillator based on competing effect for extended oscillation regions
arXiv:1905.05387 · doi:10.1063/1.5092881
Abstract
The stable precession region in the spintronic oscillator with an in-plane magnetic tunnel junction is very narrow under small external fields, restricting its applications such as for microwave generators. Here we show that this region can be greatly enlarged by introducing competing effects between different torques. Moreover, we observe large-angle precessions at zero external field, which leads to large output powers. We further evaluate the oscillator performance in a voltage-input device, where the circuit area can be minimized and the difficulty of accurate current control can be resolved. The operating voltage window in the proposed device is over 1.23 V, and its frequency can be adjusted from 1.6 to 4.9 GHz. A maximum output power of 0.28 μW is obtained at an energy consumption of 2.2 mW. This study should provide insights for designing voltage-input spintronic oscillators.
