Frequency domain studies of current-induced magnetization dynamics in single magnetic-layer nanopillars

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Spin transfer torque-induced high-frequency dynamics of single thin cobalt-layer nanopillars of circular and elliptical shape have been observed directly. Two types of precessional modes can be identified as a function of magnetic field perpendicular to the layer plane, excited for negative current polarity only. They are assigned to vortex-core and transverse spin-wave excitations, which corroborate recent model predictions. The observed narrow linewidth of 4 MHz at room temperature indicates the high coherence of the magnetic excitations.
