Nonlinear spin dynamics of ferromagnetic ring in the vortex state and its application for spin-transfer nano-oscillator

Abstract

We study a nonlinear spin dynamics of a ferromagnetic ring in a vortex state induced by the spin-polarized current. We also suggest to use the ferromagnetic ring as a free layer of a coreless vortex spin-transfer nano-oscillator. The calculated working frequency is about several GHz, that is much higher than the gyromode frequency of the disk-based vortex oscillator. The response of the vortex-state ring to the spin-polarized current has hysteretic behavior with the reasonable values of the thresholds current densities: ignition threshold is about $10^8\text{A}{\text{cm}}^{-2}$, and elimination current to maintain the oscillations has much lower values about $10^6\text{A}{\text{cm}}^{-2}$. The output signal can be extracted by the help of the inverse spin Hall effect or by the giant magnetoresistance. The output electromotive force averaged over all sample vanishes, and we suggest to use a ferromagnetic ring or disk in a vortex state as a GMR analyzer. For an inverse spin Hall analyser we advise to use two heavy metals with different signs of Spin-Hall angle. The ring-based STNO is supposed to increase the areas of practical application of the STNOs.
