Determination of the spin torque non-adiabaticity in perpendicularly magnetized nanowires
Novel nanofabrication methods and the discovery of an efficient manipulation of local magnetization based on spin polarized currents has generated a tremendous interest in the field of spintronics. The search for materials allowing for fast domain wall dyn ...
2012Current-induced domain wall motion in Co/Pt nanowires: Separating spin torque and Oersted-field effects
We report on low temperature current induced domain wall depinning experiments on (Co/Pt) multilayer nanowires with perpendicular magnetization. Using a special experimental scheme, we are able to extract the different contributions of the Oersted field an ...
2010Current-induced vortex dynamics and pinning potentials probed by homodyne detection
Using a homodyne detection scheme, we show that we can determine the polarity and chirality of a magnetic vortex in an asymmetric magnetic disk as well as the resonance frequency and phase shift of the dynamic vortex gyration excited by a spin-polarized cu ...
2010Microwave spin-torque excitation in a template-synthesized nanomagnet
Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Elena Murè
A microwave-compatible lithography-free process is shown to allow the electrical contact of a single nanometric spin valve grown by template synthesis. The complex spin dynamics of a single nanomagnet is revealed by resonant microwave current excitations, ...
