We investigate the microwave characteristics of a spin transfer nano-oscillator (STNO) based on coupled vortices as function perpendicular magnetic field ${H}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$. Interestingly, we find that our vortex-based oscillator is quasi-isochronous independently ${H}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}$ and for dc current ranging between 18 25 mA. It means severe nonlinear broadening usually observed in STNOs can be suppressed broad range bias. Still, generation linewidth displays strong...
Nonlinear phenomena are crucial for magnon-based information processing, but the nonlinear interaction between two spin-wave signals requires their spatiotemporal overlap, which can be challenging directional processing devices. Our study focuses on a gallium-substituted yttrium iron garnet film, exhibits an exchange-dominated dispersion relation and, thus, provides particularly broad range of group velocities compared to pure YIG. Using time- and space-resolved Brillouin light scattering...

In the race towards "beyond 6G" telecommunication platforms, magnonics emerges as a promising solution due to its wide tunability within FR3 band (7-24 GHz). So far, however, need for an external magnetic bias field allow coherent excitation of spin waves has been major bottleneck. Conventional bulky electromagnets are power-intensive and challenging integrate on-chip, restricting magnonic applications largely academic research. Here, we present first demonstration standalone, tunable device...
Magnetic vortices are highly tunable, nonlinear systems with ideal properties for being applied in spin wave emission, data storage, and neuromorphic computing. However, their technological application is impaired by a limited understanding of non-conservative forces, that results the open challenge attaining precise control over vortex dynamics coupled systems. Here, we present an analytical model gyrotropic magnetic within nano-pillar structures, revealing how conservative forces dictate...

We propose nano-oscillators a dynamic neuron used in...
Current-induced self-sustained magnetization oscillations in spin-torque nano-oscillators (STNOs) are promising candidates for ultra-agile microwave sources or detectors. While usually STNOs behave as a monochrome source, we report here clear bimodal simultaneous emission of incommensurate oscillations, where the two tones correspond to parametrically coupled eigenmodes with tunable splitting. The range is crucially sensitive change hybridization free and fixed layers, instance, through...
Abstract The parametric excitation of spin waves by coherent surface acoustic in metallic magnetic thin film structures is demonstrated experimentally using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. Complementary micromagnetic simulations and analytical modeling reveal that, depending on the experimental conditions, spin‐wave instabilities originate from different phonon‐magnon magnon‐magnon processes. This opens novel ways to create micro‐scaled nonlinear magnonic systems for logic data...
