Control of magnetization dynamics is one of the primary goals in spintronics. It has been demonstrated using spin Hall effect i.e charge current to spin current conversion in non-magnetic metal which has large spin-orbit coupling such as Pt, W etc. Recently different groups have shown generation of spin current in Pt, W while thermal gradient is created by virtue of spin Nernst effect. In this work we show the evidence of magnetization control by spin Nernst torque in Pt/Py bi-layer. We compared relative strength of spin Nernst Torque and spin Hall torque by measuring the systematic variation of magnetic linewidth on application of constant heat or charge current. Spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) technique is adopted to excite the magnet and to measure line-width precisely from the symmetric and anti-symmetric voltage component. Control of magnetization dynamics by spin Nernst torque will emerge as an alternative way to manipulate nano-magnets.

Time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy has been used to directly image the magnetization dynamics of nano-contact (NC) spin-torque vortex oscillators (STVOs) when phase-locked to an injected microwave (RF) current. The Kerr images reveal free layer m agnetization dynamics that extend outside the NC footprint, where they cannot be detected electrically, but which are crucial to phase-lock STVOs that share common magnetic layers. For a single NC, dynamics were observed not only when the STVO frequency was fully locked to that of the RF current, but also for a partially locked state characterized by periodic changes in the core trajectory at the RF frequency. For a pair of NCs, images reveal the spatial character of dynamics that electrical measurements show to have enhanced amplitude and reduced linewidth. Insight gained from these images may improve understanding of the conditions required for mutual phase-locking of multiple STVOs, and hence enhanced microwave power emission.
We use micromagnetic simulation to demonstrate layer-selective detection of magnetization directions from magnetic dots having two recording layers by using a spin-torque oscillator (STO) as a read device. This method is based on ferromagnetic resona nce (FMR) excitation of recording-layer magnetizations by the microwave field from the STO. The FMR excitation affects the oscillation of the STO, which is utilized to sense the magnetization states in a recording layer. The recording layers are designed to have different FMR frequencies so that the FMR excitation is selectively induced by tuning the oscillation frequency of the STO. Since all magnetic layers interact with each other through dipolar fields, unnecessary interlayer interferences can occur, which are suppressed by designing magnetic properties of the layers. We move the STO over the magnetic dots, which models a read head moving over recording media, and show that changes in the STO oscillation occur on the one-nanosecond timescale.
Spin-orbit torque (SOT) can drive sustained spin wave (SW) auto-oscillations in a class of emerging microwave devices known as spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs), which have highly non-linear properties governing robust mutual synchronization at freq uencies directly amenable to high-speed neuromorphic computing. However, all demonstrations have relied on localized SW modes interacting through dipolar coupling and/or direct exchange. As nanomagnonics requires propagating SWs for data transfer, and additional computational functionality can be achieved using SW interference, SOT driven propagating SWs would be highly advantageous. Here, we demonstrate how perpendicular magnetic anisotropy can raise the frequency of SOT driven auto-oscillations in magnetic nano-constrictions well above the SW gap, resulting in the efficient generation of field and current tunable propagating SWs. Our demonstration greatly extends the functionality and design freedom of SHNOs enabling long range SOT driven SW propagation for nanomagnonics, SW logic, and neuro-morphic computing, directly compatible with CMOS technology.
Reducing energy dissipation while increasing speed in computation and memory is a long-standing challenge for spintronics research. In the last 20 years, femtosecond lasers have emerged as a tool to control the magnetization in specific magnetic mate rials at the picosecond timescale. However, the use of ultrafast optics in integrated circuits and memories would require a major paradigm shift. An ultrafast electrical control of the magnetization is far preferable for integrated systems. Here we demonstrate reliable and deterministic control of the out-of-plane magnetization of a 1 nm-thick Co layer with single 6 ps-wide electrical pulses that induce spin-orbit torques on the magnetization. We can monitor the ultrafast magnetization dynamics due to the spin-orbit torques on sub-picosecond timescales, thus far accessible only by numerical simulations. Due to the short duration of our pulses, we enter a counter-intuitive regime of switching where heat dissipation assists the reversal. Moreover, we estimate a low energy cost to switch the magnetization, projecting to below 1fJ for a (20 nm)^3 cell. These experiments prove that spintronic phenomena can be exploited on picosecond time-scales for full magnetic control and should launch a new regime of ultrafast spin torque studies and applications.
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.
