Abstract

Magnetic tunnel junctions are nanoscale spintronic devices with microwave generation and detection capabilities. Here we use the rectification effect called "spin-diode" in a magnetic tunnel junction to wirelessly detect the microwave emission of another junction in the auto-oscillatory regime. We show that the rectified spin-diode voltage measured at the receiving junction end can be reconstructed from the independently measured auto-oscillation and spin diode spectra in each junction. Finally we adapt the auto-oscillator model to the case of spin-torque oscillator and spin-torque diode and we show that accurately reproduces the experimentally observed features. These results will be useful to design circuits and chips based on spintronic nanodevices communicating through microwaves.
