Magnetic fingerprint in a ferromagnetic wire: Spin torque diode effect and induction of the DC voltage spectrum inherent in the wire under application for RF current
arXiv:0706.1733
Abstract
We report the rectifying effect of a constant-wave radio frequency (RF) current by a magnetic domain wall (DW) on a single-layered ferromagnetic wire. A direct-current (DC) voltage is generated by the spin torque diode effect, which is a consequence of magnetoresistance oscillation due to the resonant spin wave excitation induced by the spin-polarized RF current. The DC voltage spectrum strongly depends on the internal spin structure in the DW, which corresponds to the magnetic fingerprint of the spin structure in the ferromagnetic wire.
