Abstract
This chapter reviews the state of the art in mutually synchronized spin-torque and spin Hall nano-oscillator (STNO and SHNO) arrays. After briefly introducing the underlying physics, we discuss different nano-oscillator implementations and their functional properties with respect to frequency range, output power, phase noise, and modulation rates. We then introduce the concepts and the theory of mutual synchronization and discuss the possible coupling mechanisms in spintronic nano-oscillators, such as dipolar, electrical, and spin-wave coupling. We review the experimental literature on mutually synchronized STNOs and SHNOs in one- and two-dimensional arrays and discuss ways to increase the number of mutually synchronized nano-oscillators. Finally, the potential for applications ranging from microwave signal sources/detectors and ultrafast spectrum analyzers to neuromorphic computing elements and Ising machines is discussed together with the specific electronic circuitry that has been designed so far to harness this potential.
