This paper describes a numerical experiment, based on full micromagnetic simulations of current-driven magnetization dynamics in nanoscale spin valves, to identify the origins of spectral linewidth broadening in spin torque oscillators. Our numerical results show two qualitatively different regimes of magnetization dynamics at zero temperature: regular (single-mode precessional dynamics) and chaotic. In the regular regime, the dependence of the oscillator integrated power on frequency is linear, and consequently the dynamics is well described by the analytical theory of current-driven magnetization dynamics for moderate amplitudes of oscillations. We observe that for higher oscillator amplitudes, the functional dependence of the oscillator integrated power as a function of frequency is not a single-valued function and can be described numerically via introduction of nonlinear oscillator power. For a range of currents in the regular regime, the oscillator spectral linewidth is a linear function of temperature. In the chaotic regime found at large current values, the linewidth is not described by the analytical theory. In this regime we observe the oscillator linewidth broadening, which originates from sudden jumps of frequency of the oscillator arising from random domain wall nucleation and propagation through the sample. This intermittent behavior is revealed through a wavelet analysis that gives superior description of the frequency jumps compared to several other techniques.

Low frequency noise close to the carrier remains little explored in spin torque nano oscillators. However, it is crucial to investigate as it limits the oscillators frequency stability. This work addresses the low offset frequency flicker noise of a TMR-based spin-torque vortex oscillator in the regime of large amplitude steady oscillations. We first phenomenologically expand the nonlinear auto-oscillator theory aiming to reveal the properties of this noise. We then present a thorough experimental study of the oscillators $1/f$ flicker noise and discuss the results based on the theoretical predictions. Hereby, we connect the oscillators nonlinear dynamics with the concept of flicker noise and furthermore refer to the influence of a standard $1/f$ noise description based on the Hooge formula, taking into account the non-constant magnetic oscillation volume, which contributes to the magnetoresistance.
We study the agility of current-tunable oscillators based on a magnetic vortex orbiting around a point contact in spin-valves. Theory predicts frequency-tuning by currents occurs at constant orbital radius, so an exceptional agility is anticipated. T o test this, we have inserted an oscillator in a microwave interferometer to apply abrupt current variations while time resolving its emission. Using frequency shift keying, we show that the oscillator can switch between two stabilized frequencies differing by 25% in less than ten periods. With a wide frequency tunability and a good agility, such oscillators possess desirable figures of merit for modulation-based rf applications.

We demonstrate a high-quality spin orbit torque nano-oscillator comprised of spin wave modes confined by the magnetic field by the strongly inhomogeneous dipole field of a nearby micromagnet. This approach enables variable spatial confinement and sys tematic tuning of magnon spectrum and spectral separations for studying the impact of multi-mode interactions on auto-oscillations. We find these dipole field-localized spin wave modes exhibit good characteristic properties as auto-oscillators--narrow linewidth and large amplitude--while persisting up to room temperature. We find that the linewidth of the lowest-lying localized mode is approximately proportional to temperature in good agreement with theoretical analysis of the impact of thermal fluctuations. This demonstration of a clean oscillator with tunable properties provides a powerful tool for understanding the fundamental limitations and linewidth contributions to improve future spin-Hall oscillators.
In the present study, we investigate a dynamical mode beyond the gyrotropic (G) motion of a magnetic vortex core in a confined magnetic disk of a nano-pillar spin torque nano oscillator. It is characterized by the in-plane circular precession associa ted to a C-shaped magnetization distribution. We show a transition between G and C-state mode which is found to be purely stochastic in a current-controllable range. Supporting our experimental findings with micromagnetic simulations, we believe that the results provide novel opportunities for the dynamic and stochastic control of STOs, which could be interesting to be implemented for example in neuromorphic networks.
We present theoretical studies of the intrinsic spin orbit torque (SOT) in a single domain ferromagnetic layer with Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) using the non-equilibrium Greens function formalism for a model Hamiltonian. We find that, to the fir st order in SOC, the intrinsic SOT has only the field-like torque symmetry and can be interpreted as the longitudinal spin current induced by the charge current and Rashba field. We analyze the results in terms of the material related parameters of the electronic structure, such as band filling, band width, exchange splitting, as well as the Rashba SOC strength. On the basis of these numerical and analytical results, we discuss the magnitude and sign of SOT. Our results show that the different sign of SOT in identical ferromagnetic layers with different supporting layers, e.g. Co/Pt and Co/Ta, could be attributed to electrostatic doping of the ferromagnetic layer by the support.
