Phase locking dynamics of dipolarly coupled vortex-based spin transfer oscillators

Abstract

Phase locking dynamics of dipolarly coupled vortices excited by spin-polarized current in two identical nanopillars is studied as a function of the interpillar distance L. Numerical study and analytical model have proved the remarkable efficiency of magneto-static interaction to achieve phase locking. Investigating the dynamics in the transient regime towards phase locking, we extract the evolution of the locking time τ, the coupling strength μ and the interaction energy W. Finally, we compare this coupling energy with the one obtained by simple model.
