Magnetic heterostructures that combine large spin-orbit torque efficiency, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and low resistivity are key to develop electrically-controlled memory and logic devices. Here we report on vector measurements of…

The spin-transfer effect has been studied in magnetic tunnel junctions (PtMn/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe/NiFe) with dimensions down to 0.1x0.2 um2 and resistance-area product RA in the range of 0.5-10 Ohm m2 (dR/R=1-20%). Current-induced…

Strongly nonlinear transport through Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor multiquantum wells occurs due to the interplay between confinement, Coulomb and exchange interaction. Nonlinear effects include the appearance of spin polarized stationary…

Finite-temperature micromagnetics simulations are employed to study the magnetization-switching dynamics driven by a field applied at an angle to the long axis of an iron nanopillar. A bi-modal distribution in the switching times is…

We describe direct electrical measurements of microwave-frequency dynamics in individual nanomagnets that are driven by spin transfer from a DC spin-polarized current. We map out the dynamical stability diagram as a function of current and…

In planar nano-magnetic devices magnetization direction is kept close to a given plane by the large easy-plane magnetic anisotropy, for example by the shape anisotropy in a thin film. In this case magnetization shows effectively in-plane…

The spin-transfer torque from a DC spin-polarized current can generate highly-coherent magnetic precession in nanoscale magnetic-multilayer devices. By measuring linewidths of spectra from the resulting resistance oscillations, we argue…

Vortices and antivortices are typical non uniform magnetization configurations that can be achieved in spin-torque oscillators with in-plane materials. Dynamics of a vortex-antivortex pair, namely vortex dipole, were predicted and already…

We consider a problem of persistent magnetization precession in a single domain ferromagnetic nano particle under the driving by the spin-transfer torque. We find that the adjustment of the electronic distribution function in the particle…

We simulate the spin torque-induced reversal of the magnetization in thin disks with perpendicular anisotropy at zero temperature. Disks typically smaller than 20 nm in diameter exhibit coherent reversal. A domain wall is involved in larger…

Electric-field control of magnetism via inverse magnetostrictive effect is an efficient path towards improving energy-efficient storage and sensing devices based on giant magnetoresistance effect. In this letter, we report on lateral…

We use nanometer-sized point contacts to a Co/Cu spin valve to study the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of only a few Co domains. The measured data show strong device-to-device differences of the GMR curve, which we attribute to the absence…

The dynamics of the magnetization of the free layer in a spin-torque nano oscillator (STNO) influenced by a noncollinear alignment between the magnetizations of the free and pinned layers due to an interlayer exchange coupling has been…

The magnetization detection and switching of an ultrasmall Stoner nanograin in a non-local spin valve (NLSV) device is studied theoretically. With the help of the rate equations, a unified description can be presented on the same footing…

Depinning of nanoscale magnetic textures, such as domain walls, vortices and skyrmions, is of paramount importance for magnetic storage and information processing. We measure time-resolved magnetic switching statistics of an individual,…

We propose a novel concept of obtaining oscillations with frequencies in very-high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. A traditional spin torque nano-oscillator (STNO) consists of at least one pinned layer (PL) and one…

Magnetic droplets are non-topological dynamical solitons that can be nucleated and sustained in nano-contact based spin torque nano-oscillators (NC-STNOs) with perpendicular anisotropy free layers. While originally predicted in…

We show by means of micromagnetic simulations that spin polarizer in nano-contact spin torque oscillators (NC-STOs) as the representative of the fixed layer in an orthogonal pseudo-spin valve (P-SV) can be employed to design and to control…

The use of magnetic nanowires as memory units is made possible by the exponential divergence of the characteristic time for magnetization reversal at low temperature, but the slow relaxation makes the manipulation of the frozen magnetic…

We theoretically study the influence of a predominant field-like spin-orbit torque on the magnetization switching of small devices with a uniform magnetization. We show that for a certain range of ratios (0.23-0.55) of the Slonczewski to…
