Achieve a new type of spin Hall nano-oscillator

PRAPPlied-2020Our new work entitled “Magnetic droplet mode in a vertical nanocontact-based spin Hall nano-oscillator at oblique fields” is published in Physical Review Applied [Lina Chen, S. Urazhdin, Kaiyuan Zhou, Y. W. Du, and R. H. Liu*, Phys. Rev. Applied 13, 024034 (2020)]. Congratulations to Dr. Chen. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate an alternative type of spin Hall nano-oscillator based on a vertical nanocontact fabricated on a Pt/(Co/Ni) multilayer. We analyze the spectral characteristics of the nano-oscillator as a function of current, magnetic field, and temperature. At sufficiently large currents, the oscillator exhibits dynamics at a frequency far below the ferromagnetic resonance, which at large fields exhibits a redshift with increasing current. At smaller fields and low temperatures, the frequency becomes nearly independent of current, with a well-defined threshold current. These distinct spectral characteristics of the demonstrated nano-oscillator can be explained by the formation of the magnetic droplet—a dissipative magnetic soliton stabilized by the local injection of spin current produced by the spin Hall effect in Pt. The minimum linewidth exhibits a linear temperature dependence, suggesting single-mode dynamics, and enabling coherent magnetization auto-oscillation at room temperature. The demonstrated nano-oscillator geometry provides alternative opportunities for the development of active nanomagnetic devices and for optimization of their spectral characteristics for applications in microwave technology and spin-wave logic. This work is collaborated with Prof. Sergei Urazhdin, Department of Physics, Emory Universty, USA.
