Dependence of spin torque diode voltage on applied field direction

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

The optimum condition of an applied field direction to maximize spin torque diode voltage was theoretically derived for a magnetic tunnel junction with a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer. We found that the diode voltage for a relatively small applied field is maximized when the projection of the applied field to the film-plane is parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetization of the pinned layer. However, by increasing the applied field magnitude, the optimum applied field direction shifts from the parallel or anti-parallel direction. These analytical predictions were confirmed by numerical simulations.
