Current-driven microwave oscillations in current perpendicular-to-plane spin-valve nanopillars
arXiv:cond-mat/0603293 · doi:10.1063/1.2201897
Abstract
We study the current and temperature dependences of the microwave voltage emission of spin-valve nanopillars subjected to an in-plane magnetic field and a perpendicular-to-plane current. Despite the complex multilayer geometry, clear microwave emission is shown to be possible and spectral lines as narrow as 3.8 MHz (at 150 K) are observed.
