Abstract

We demonstrate (using full-scale micromagnetic simulations) that the spin injection driven steady-state precession of a thin magnetic nanoelement exhibit a complicate transition from the quasi-macrospin to the chaotic behaviour with the increasing element size. For nanoelement parameters typical for those used experimentally we have found that the macrospin approximation becomes invalid already for very small nanoelement sizes (~ 30 nm), in contrast to the previously reported results (Li and Zhang, Phys. Rev. B, vol. B68, 024404-1 (2003))
