Spintronic Oscillator Based on Magnetic Field Feedback

arXiv:1307.2744 · doi:10.1063/1.4752008

Abstract

We present a circuit design of a spintronic oscillator based on magnetic tunnel junction. In this design, a dc current is passed through a magnetic tunnel junction which is connected to a feed-back wire below it. Any fluctuation in the magnetization direction of the free layer of MTJ, drives a fluctuating current through the feed-back wire, which exerts a magnetic field on the free layer. This in turn can amplify the magnetization fluctuations of the free layer. If the dc current passing through the MTJ is more than a critical value, continuous precessing states of the magnetization are possible.
