We use micromagnetic simulations to map out and compare, the linear auto-oscillating modes in constriction-based spin Hall nano-oscillators as a function of applied magnetic field with varying magnitude out-of-plane angle. demonstrate that for all possible configurations auto-oscillations emerge from localized constriction. For directions tending towards plane, these are so-called "edge" type, i.e. at opposite sides When magnetization direction instead approaches film normal, transform...
We demonstrate highly efficient spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs) based on NiFe/β-W bilayers. Thanks to the very high angle of β-W, we achieve more than a 60% reduction in auto-oscillation threshold current compared NiFe/Pt The structural, electrical, and magnetic properties bilayers, as well microwave signal generation SHNOs, have been studied detail. Our results provide promising path for realization low-current SHNO devices with spin-orbit torque from β-W.
Abstract Spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs) are emerging spintronic devices for microwave signal generation and oscillator-based neuromorphic computing combining nano-scale footprint, fast ultra-wide frequency tunability, CMOS compatibility, strong non-linear properties providing robust large-scale mutual synchronization in chains two-dimensional arrays. While SHNOs can be tuned via magnetic fields the drive current, neither approach is conducive to individual SHNO control large Here, we...
We report a continuous medium theory of dispersion and scattering spin waves propagating in thin nanowire magnonic waveguides with curved regions. Assuming that the static magnetization is aligned along waveguide, curvature leads to “geometrical” effective magnetic field term proportional square ratio exchange length radius waveguide. The small enough favor use bended planar data architectures. However, stronger (multiple) winding (e.g., within helical structures) could enable design desired...
Short wavelength exchange-dominated propagating spin waves will enable magnonic devices to operate at higher frequencies and data transmission rates. While giant magnetoresistance (GMR)-based magnetic nanocontacts are efficient injectors of waves, the generated wavelengths 2.6 times nano-contact diameter, electrical signal strength remains too weak for applications. Here we demonstrate nano-contact-based wave generation in tunnel junctions observe large-frequency steps consistent with...
Propagating spin waves generated by a metal-based Hall nano-oscillator for highly energy-efficient wave technology.
Thermal fluctuations play an increasingly important role in micromagnetic research relevant for various biomedical and other technological applications. Until now, it was deemed necessary to use a time stepping algorithm with fixed step order perform simulations at nonzero temperatures. However, Berkov Gorn have shown that the drift term which generally appears when solving stochastic differential equations can only influence length of magnetization. This quantity is however case...
A phenomenological equation called Landau-Lifshitz-Baryakhtar (LLBar) equation, which could be viewed as the combination of Landau-Lifshitz (LL) and an extra "exchange damping" term, was derived by Baryakhtar using Onsager's relations. We interpret origin this nonlocal damping linking it to spin current pumping. The LLBar is investigated numerically analytically for wave decay domain wall motion. Our results show that lifetime propagation length short-wavelength magnons in presence much...
We report upon a theoretical study of collective magnonic modes in pairs magnetic nano-elements with quasi-uniform magnetization. The mode spectrum and character are numerically computed for an individual isolated nano-element then used to analytically calculate the splitting due inter-element magneto-dipole interaction. results compared those obtained using direct simulations elements, yielding generally good agreement. For edge interaction between edges neighboring elements can exceed that...

Magnetic droplets are nontopological dynamical solitons that can be nucleated in nanocontact based spin torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy free layers. While theory predicts the droplet should of same size as nanocontact, its inherent drift instability has thwarted attempts at observing it directly using microscopy techniques. Here, we demonstrate highly stable all-perpendicular STNOs and present first detailed images scanning transmission X-ray...
