Spin-transfer dynamics in spin valves with out-of-plane magnetized CoNi free layers

Spin-transfer dynamics in spin valves with out-of-plane magnetized CoNi free layers

We have measured spin transfer-induced dynamics in magnetic nanocontact devices having a perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni free layer and an in-plane magnetized CoFe fixed layer. The frequencies and powers of the excitations agree well with the predictions of the single-domain model and indicate that the excited dynamics correspond to precessional orbits …
