Abstract
We demonstrate spin torque induced auto-oscillation in MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions. At the generation threshold, we observe a strong line narrowing down to 6 MHz at 300K and a dramatic increase in oscillator power, yielding spectrally pure oscillations free of flicker noise. Setting the synthetic antiferromagnet into autooscillation requires the same current polarity as the one needed to switch the free layer magnetization. The induced auto-oscillations are observed even at zero applied field, which is believed to be the acoustic mode of the synthetic antiferromagnet. While the phase coherence of the auto-oscillation is of the order of microseconds, the power autocorrelation time is of the order of milliseconds and can be strongly influenced by the free layer dynamics.
