Large-amplitude coherent spin waves exited by spin-polarized current in nanoscale spin valves
arXiv:cond-mat/0703458 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.76.024418
Abstract
We present spectral measurements of spin-wave excitations driven by direct spinpolarized current in the free layer of nanoscale Ir20Mn80/Ni80Fe20/Cu/Ni80Fe20 spin valves. The measurements reveal that large-amplitude coherent spin wave modes are excited over a wide range of bias current. The frequency of these excitations exhibits a series of jumps as a function of current due to transitions between different localized nonlinear spin wave modes of the Ni80Fe20 nanomagnet. We find that micromagnetic simulations employing the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of motion augmented by the Slonczewski spin torque term (LLGS) accurately describe the frequency of the current-driven excitations including the mode transition behavior. However LLGS simulations give qualitatively incorrect predictions for the amplitude of excited spin waves as a function of current.
