We investigate the dynamics of two coupled vortices driven by spin transfer. We are able to independently control with current and perpendicular field, and to detect, the respective chiralities and polarities of the two vortices. For current densities above $J=5.7*10^7 A/cm^2$, a highly coherent signal (linewidth down to 46 kHz) can be observed, with a strong dependence on the relative polarities of the vortices. It demonstrates the interest of using coupled dynamics in order to increase the coherence of the microwave signal. Emissions exhibit a linear frequency evolution with perpendicular field, with coherence conserved even at zero magnetic field.

The current driven magnetisation dynamics of a helical spin-density wave is investigated. Expressions for calculating the spin-transfer torque of real systems from first principles density functional theory are presented. These expressions are used f or calculating the spin-transfer torque for the spin spirals of Er and fcc Fe at two different lattice volumes. It is shown that the calculated torque induces a rigid rotation of the order parameter with respect to the spin spiral axis. The torque is found to depend on the wave vector of the spin spiral and the spin-polarisation of the Fermi surface states. The resulting dynamics of the spin spiral is also discussed.
Current-induced spin-transfer torques (STT) and spin-orbit torques (SOT) enable the electrical switching of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) in nonvolatile magnetic random access memories. In order to develop faster memory devices, an improvement of the timescales underlying the current driven magnetization dynamics is required. Here we report all-electrical time-resolved measurements of magnetization reversal driven by SOT in a three-terminal MTJ device. Single-shot measurements of the MTJ resistance during current injection reveal that SOT switching involves a stochastic two-step process consisting of a domain nucleation time and propagation time, which have different genesis, timescales, and statistical distributions compared to STT switching. We further show that the combination of SOT, STT, and voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) leads to reproducible sub-ns switching with a spread of the cumulative switching time smaller than 0.2 ns. Our measurements unravel the combined impact of SOT, STT, and VCMA in determining the switching speed and efficiency of MTJ devices.
Efficient manipulation of magnetization at ultrashort time scales is of particular interest for future technology. Here, we numerically investigate the influence of the so-called field-derivative torque, which was derived earlier based on relativisti c Dirac theory [Mondal et al., Phys. Rev. B 94, 144419 (2016)], on the spin dynamics triggered by ultrashort laser pulses. We find that only considering the THz Zeeman field can underestimate the spin excitation in antiferromagnetic oxide systems as, e.g., NiO and CoO. However, accounting for both, the THz Zeeman torque and the field-derivative torque, the amplitude of the spin excitation increases significantly. Studying the damping dependence of field-derivative torque we observe larger effects for materials having larger damping constants.
This paper shows that the presence of two dynamical regimes, characterized by different precessional-axis, is the origin of the non-monotonic behavior of the output integrated power for large-amplitude magnetization precession driven by spin-polarize d current in nanoscale exchange biased spin-valves. In particular, at the transition current between those two regimes exists an abruptly loss in the integrated output power. After the introduction of a time-frequency analysis of magnetization dynamics based on the wavelet transform, we performed a numerical experiment by means of micromagnetic simulations. Our results predicted that, together with a modulation of the frequency of the main excited mode of the magnetization precession, at high non-linear dynamical regime the instantaneous output power of the spin-torque oscillator can disappear and then reappear at nanosecond scale.
