The advantage of an ultrafast frequency-tunability spin-torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) that have a large (>100 MHz) relaxation frequency amplitude fluctuations is exploited to realize wide-band time-resolved spectral analysis at nanosecond time scale with resolution limited only by the "bandwidth" theorem. demonstration performed STNO generating in 9 GHz range and comprised perpendicular polarizer perpendicularly uniformly magnetized "free" layer.

Large quantities of random numbers are crucial in a wide range applications. We have recently demonstrated that perpendicular nanopillar magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJs) can produce true bits when actuated with short pulses. However, our implementation used high-end and expensive electronics, such as high bandwidth arbitrary waveform generator analog-to-digital converter, was limited to relatively low data rates. Here, we significantly increase the speed number generation (TRNG) stochastic...
